@YstradHistory @WillsmanOneName @OnePlaceStudies I was very happy with what I saw in a quick browse.

@Darris @WillsmanOneName @OnePlaceStudies Thank you! I hope it's OK. It's a compendium of articles, rather than a book in itself, but it was the best I could do this year.

@WillsmanOneName @YstradHistory @OnePlaceStudies I just got a delivery from Amazon of the Gough Compendium and am anxious for my work day to end so I can start reading.

@YstradHistory @OnePlaceStudies @Darris One of our ancestral farms, Gellyfowy, was owned by Fleming Gough in 1910

Looking forward to exploring how our 19th and 20th-century ancestors used to eat next Monday. Come prepared with personal family recipes to share in the Q&A/chat afterwards!

@onthrshoulders There are lots of options and opportunities. Make decisions with the audience in mind. Start small and test your ideas. Be willing to adjust and adapt.

As promised, here's my quick guide to Welsh chapel architecture. Watch before it gets to 100 views if you can so its advert free. YouTube put ads on after that for which I don't get paid and can't remove until I get 1000 subscribers. youtu.be/IjN0JSoM11E

What books or resources would you recommend to any new genealogist just starting to take their research seriously?

Tuesday's Tip "Search Records not Boxes" Don't continually put your ancestor's name in a search box and press enter. Learn the records in the database and search the records your ancestor might be in.

@SoGGenealogist @TheRootsGenie Glad to hear you are improving. I’m sorry you have this to deal with.

@TheRootsGenie Thanks. First couple days were grim but symptoms abating now - just tired and sleepy now.

Well it had to happen. Starting my leave with a test with two lines🙀🙀🙀but feline COVID nursing brigade is most soothing and they brought tissues 😻

Viewing books purchased in Wales on my recent research trip, I wondered why I paid 15 pounds for The Carmarthenshire Antiquary, 2021. After reading 'Coming of Age' Landowners and Tenants... by Shaun Evans my purchase made sense. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

Tune in at 11 on Sunday as I speak for 15 minutes (probably repetition, definitely deviation, no time for hesitation) on the subject of witchcraft. Join historians on Sat/Sun for live #HistoryforUkraine event. See speakers, how to watch and where to donate historyforukraine.co

I'll be talking about witchcraft...it would be wise to donate...🤣
