@dpiercyphd Hehe translator? more like going line by line looking for him to say "fy ngwraig" (my wife) and hoping he doesn't phrase it in a weird way. It's nice monotonous easy work though, so that's good. It's good practice too, even if I can only mostly read the biographical information.

@dpiercyphd Yeah it's weird, since the newer edition is mostly a copy, which is written in 1st person, and the additions are also written in 1st person. The editor's wife was born about 100 years too late to be the cousin, so I think he's writing in first person as if he's the original author, which is wild to me. I'm reading the original now hoping to find something similar. of course it's not searchable, so it's gonna be a long 500 pages in a language I'm not fluent in haha

A bit #Genealogy disappointed. I have a book that says Rev. Moses Davis of Tarling, Essex, who died in 1765 was "a cousin of my wife." The author's wife is my 8x great grandma's sister. I was working on it today for a presentation & I realised that it only says that in the 1885 copy. The original copy from 1776 doesn't say that (at least not in that section). Turns out that the 1885 copy was edited by Rev. B. Davies, who "made many additions." Sigh. Now I'm unsure what's true. :(

The FindMyPast free weekend has begun. Time to grab all the 1921 Censues for my ancestors! #Genealogy

Today my mum asked why my Grampie was Anglican if so many of our ancestors were non/conformists (i.e., Wesleyan methodists, Unitarians, Calvinistic Methodists, Baptists, Independents). I thought maybe religion just wasn't that important to him & his parents cause my Grandma said she never went to church when she lived with them. So I asked my Grandma, & she said when he signed up for the Navy, he said he didn't have any religion, so they just put him down as Anglican. Interesting. #Genealogy

I thought that I had found a new Timothy to research for my Timothy First Name Study. I was all excited, 'til now, when I realise I've already researched his great & great great grandparents for a different project. I was hoping he'd lead me to new lines that would maybe go past the 1790s. But cool to see that he married into my Walters' family & his wife's 2x grandfather's sister's father-in-law was friends with his great grandmother's brother. #Genealogy
