Have you heard of the #AllAboutThatPlace event? It’s a FREE event over 10 days bringing you around 200 10-minute talks. I’m delighted to be presenting two talks this year. More here: sog.org.uk/welcome-to-a... #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #LocalHistory #OnePlaceStudies

I had a long drive yesterday, always my opportunity to catch up on #GenealogyPodcasts. I highly recommend this fabulous episode of @familyhistoriespodcast.com with @ulsw.bsky.social talking about researching #transgender relatives.
