To my #genealogy friends in #Australia. I will be visiting your country in 2027 again. The plan is to spend time in #Melbourne and #Tasmania. Mid-March to Mid-April. It would be great to find opportunities to talk about Dutch #familyhistory. Please let me know or drop my name with your contacts.

Great opportunity for a (volunteer) position as senior co-editor of the @regqualgenes.bsky.social journal with peer reviewed articles on family history. #genealogy #familyhistory

Two interesting quotes: “Good genealogy […] is about following the evidence wherever it leads, even if that means abandoning conclusions we previously felt confident about.” “History provides the context that allows genealogy to move beyond description and towards understanding.” #genealogy

Publication day! A new issue of Early Modern Low Countries (EMLC). And we have a scoop! Joris Oddens introduces an unknown painting and argues that the painting depicts a meeting of the Dutch States General in the Statenzaal at the Binnenhof in the year 1608. Curious? doi.org/10.51750/eml...

These days, I am guiding an American family on their journey to discover their Dutch history. We visited the National Prison Museum in Veenhuizen, where they paid their respects at the unmarked grave of an ancestor who died there in 1847. #genealogy #heritagetrip #ancestraltourism

News in Antwerp 400 years ago: a nighttime cavalry encounter between Brabanders and the Dutch.

We welcomed nearly 100 genealogists in Birmingham (UK) on Saturday 25 April 2026 for our biannual family history conference. Networking was a core element of the day. More impressions on our website: www.qualifiedgenealogists.org/2026-confere... #genealogy #familyhistory #RQGConf2026

I am delighted to announce that I have been elected as a director of the Register of Qualified Genealogists. I look forward to working with the seven other board members. Some of us were in Birmingham this weekend to attend the biennal conference. @regqualgenes.bsky.social #genealogy #familyhistory

When visiting Birmingham, I read this quote from James Baldwin: "History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us. We are our history." I couldn't agree more. That's why Iove the work I do. #genealogy #earlymodern #history #skystorians

Signed up for a membership with @rsaorg.bsky.social today. Very curious about the benefits, including the quarterly. #genealogy #earlymodern

A (long) thread of (anglophone) #StarterPacks and #feeds of interest to #EarlyModern #skystorians. The first two posts list a sample of hashtags for which Bluesky feeds currently exist. The following forty-two(!) posts list starter packs for scholars of various aspects of early modern history.

Our second keynote speaker of the day is Sophie Kay. She's taking about ethical aspects of the use of DNA in genealogical projects. #genealogy #familyhistory #RQGConf2026

First keynote speaker of the day: Professor Rebecca Probert. Bigamy, always fun for family history researchers. #RQGConf2026

And so it starts... Sylvia Valentine, chair of @regqualgenes.bsky.social is welcoming all conference attendees. #RQGConf2026

I arrived in Birmingham yesterday. Had a first glimpse of what the city has to offer. More sightseeing today, but also the informal start of the RQG @regqualgenes.bsky.social conference. That is the reason why I am here! #RQGConf2026
