We ❤️ the concept of the #PowerOfPlace—the ability of place-based research to expand your #FamilyHistory horizons and enrich your understanding of your ancestors' lives.

On #OnePlaceWednesday here's a workshop on using #MyHeritage to tell the stories of buildings and places 🏡⛪️🏭🕍🏘️ which may be helpful to #genealogy and #OnePlaceStudy researchers.

#FensterFreitag #WindowFriday This is a favourite of mine. It’s called ‘Cathedral’ and is part of the amazing https://www.forestofdean-sculpture.org.uk/. It depicts the trees of the forest, and hangs among the trees of the forest.
