Thanks for sharing my Genealogy Gold story Paul 😀
One for my fellow family historians 😉
I have a sizable collection of postcards. This is probably my oldest. It was purchased by my mum in London nearly 60 years ago, just before we boarded a BOAC Boeing 707 to fly halfway around the world, to our new home in Perth, Western Australia 🛫🌏🛬 #plane #postcard
I enjoyed listening to this podcast as I was driving today. In my drawer, I have an unpublished manuscript of my mother's. It is a historical novel, set in England and Western Australia nearly 200 years ago. And, of course, the ship journey to reach the main character's new home.
Always look up! We had a lovely lunch with friends at an old character hotel in Leederville (Perth, Australia) today. Leederville takes its name from my husband’s 4x great-grandparents, William & Hannah Leeder, early settlers. As I passed the stairs, I saw this lovely stained-glass window 😉
I’m sometimes overwhelmed by the emotions that surface as I am writing stories about my ancestors. Today has been one of those days.
As a parent and grandparent, I feel the pain of those who lost children, whose lives kept delivering blow after blow. But they picked themselves up and carried on.
My husband’s 2 x great grandfather’s name was Theodore Horatio Thompson 😁
It was lovely to receive positive comments from a history professor about my recently published blog about my deaf ancestors. She sent me her article and deaf people, love and marriage. theconversation.com/the-deaf-bla...
@nwkfhs.bsky.social thanks for the follow. Most of my ancestors are from the north of England but my husband has Kent ancestors who I’m yet to explore in detail. This is his 2x great-grandfather Theodore Horatio Thompson, born Faversham, Kent in 1822 and died in South Australia in 1894 #genealogy
It’s been another busy, exciting and rewarding week. I have had articles accepted by two different family history societies, a specialist history association and an online genealogical publication. 👏👏👏 I have done this ⬇️ a few times though 😂 #familyhistory #genealogy
The medieval church’s acknowledgement that signs were equivalent to a spoken language was transformative for deaf people.
Host Andrew meets author Tamiko Nimura and hears about her Japanese grandparents and family who were incarcerated in US concentration camps in WW2.
