Thanks Eugène! I’ve seen it available for pre-order at many online bookshops worldwide, including the big players like Amazon. 😊

There is something rather phenomenal about seeing the first physical copy of the book you have dreamt of writing for years and years. My advance copy has arrived and publication looks set for the 19th March! 😁 📕 #Genealogy #Author #FirstBook #PublishedAuthor #GenealogyMethodsAndTechniqies

I'm hugely excited about the return of the Bury Psalter to @stedscath.bsky.social; the donation of the manuscript to the Cathedral means that it can stay in Bury. Along with the Bury Chronicle at Moyse's Hall Museum it's one of only two of the Abbey's books that remain in the town they were made for

Just came across my first #MetPolice Pension Register and I'm loving it; I wish all my ancestors had worked there! Height, hair colour, eye colour, complexion and *exact* place of birth... and then again for the spouse! A dream record. 🤩

The story of my Mum, Joyce Jenkins, who passed away 25 years ago It has been 25 years since Mum died, and it seems a fitting tribute to tell something of her story.

At the weekend it will be 25 years since my Mum died. Please allow me the indulgence of marking the occasion by sharing a brief version of her story with you; it was my Mum who inspired me to start my family history.

Excellent article about the Irish Free State census of 1926, which will be released mid-April. There was a census in Northern Ireland on the same day, but its records have sadly not survived, meaning the next northern census release will be that from 1937, in 2037. #genealogy #Ireland

Ooh, how exciting!
