@HistoryCornwall My connection to this house is that Rev Usticke was 1 of 3 guardians of my 6x great grandmother Elizabeth Furse after she was orphaned. She went on to marry Samuel Lemon (Madron, 1771) I had no idea Lemon Hart also later owned it - thanks for sharing!

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… 'Mr Usticke's Grand House in Lady Street' Penzance is for sale 250 years later. For one thousand times what Lemon Hart - originator of the rum brand name - paid for it in 1809.

@GOtransitBus Same with Bus 30 Westbound to University of Waterloo that is schedule to arrive at 6:17pm. No A/C turned on in the upper level with a full bus. It’s unsafe.

@genealogytours I was undecided on going to the Jamaica Inn when I’m Bodmin, but taking this as a sign to go! Smugglers and the Revenue men are a big part of this trip 👏🏻 thank you!!

Counting down to my trip from Canada to Cornwall, England. Starting off New Year’s Day aboard @GWRHelp from Paddington to Penzance. Found this signed 1934 Great Western Railway book promoting Cornwall tourism in a small Brockville, Ontario 🇨🇦 bookstore. #UKhistory #Kernow

@penwithwriter Hello! I descend from Samuel Lemon (b. 1705) and I am a huge fan of your Merchants & smugglers in 18th century Cornwall book. I will be visiting Cornwall from Jan 2nd-11th. I would love an opportunity to chat with you. Let me know if you would be open to this! 😃

We are sad to share that our friend Réal Leclair, affectionately known as #HomelessJoe, has died from a heart attack while gathering water from a river near his shack in South Etobicoke (Toronto). Réal's body was found by a mountain biker. 22 Division Toronto Police led by Officer Rich Nimmo and team, as well as Coroner Dr Gupta have gone above and beyond to determine what happened and honour Réal. We all thank them. Street Nurse Anne Marie Batten and Retired Toronto Police Constable Scott Mills are in touch with Réal's family in Quebec who will be coming to Toronto to bring Réal's remains home for cremation & burial in their family cemetery. Anne Marie and Ret. Cst Mills started a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs. Réal's family did all they could to help him, as did many people. "Mental illness is a bitch". Any excess funds will be donated to agencies chosen by the family who help homeless people with mental illness. Learn more and/or donate: gofund.me/1d6f9314 RIP Homeless Joe 💔

After 3.5 years and 5 on the Hill, today marked my last day working in the Prime Minister's Office. I can't put into words what these experiences meant to me, both personally and professionally, but I'll forever be proud of the work I got to do and the people I did it with.

@MikeQuack do you still recommend Roots Magic for a family tree program? I just saw an add for RootsMagic 9 for 50% off. Thought I might finally get it

Do you ever feel this on a cruise/train/plane?13 hour train journey from Toronto Union Station to New York Penn Station. As I lie still in bed, I could swear my body is still moving on the train 😂 #HowWeirdIsThat

On my @Amtrak train to NYC, business class has no assigned seating. We had to disembark at Niagara Falls to clear US Customs. As an adult, it’s still totally normal to shout “SAME SEATS” as we re-board the train… right? 😃 #AdultingAndStuff #GenealogyRoadTrip
