Good morning 👋 What’s the first word that comes to mind when you see this ?

@DrJaninaRamirez How about Jasmina, daughter of the Moor, Ali, who was murdered by Christians searching for his hidden treasure in the Cabeza D'or mountains, Jasmina escaped into the cuevas de canelobre above the future village of Busot near Alicante, and was never captured. She is a local legend

Twitter help me out. Send me the names of women from the ninth to sixteenth century that have become legendary in different countries. I’m thinking St Kinga in Poland/Joan of Arc in France.

@Dave_Lifelines Could one witness have been an older son of Mr & Mrs A?

Mr A married Ms B in 1857 They had 8 children from 1859 to 1873 Ms B (now Mrs A) had a relationship with Mr C They had 2 children in 1875 & 1879 & were living together as Mr & Mrs C in 1881 census 6 mths later Mr & Mrs A jointly witnessed the marriage of one of their children

@donnasr I always dream I've lost my passport before I am due to take a flight!

The worst thing about holidays are the dreams the night before about losing my passport, losing my bag, being in the wrong airport (and last night being in the wrong country) … just me? Although … holiday! Bring it on

How do you pronounce this word: genealogy? #genealogy

@G6JPG_ There is room. But I have a feeling my descendants won't be terribly interested!

@ShellyAncestry Is there room for your descendants to continue it, for a few generations at lesst?

My Embroidered Ancestors signatures tablecloth is almost complete. Embroidering along the pen strokes of my ancestors has brought me closer to them in some way. Each signature reveals something of its creator #AncestryHour

@ElaineJackson12 I had one eye lasered for distance. My other eye is still perfect for reading tiny writing. It works really well for me

#specs #eyesightUK Having used varifocals for many years, now thinking it's time to go one pair for distance, one for close work. Have you made the change and did it work for you? Is it more expensive?

@OneTwigBeyond No - but I will in future!

@DanielGenealogy Good idea. Just focusing on Ireland? I was adopted straight from a home in Lincolnshire. Mum & Dad presented it as a logical thing to happen. Now I know from my birth mother's point of view it was a forced adoption

Thinking of doing a presentation on mother and baby homes and connect it with my work and present day issues. Thoughts?

@amy_may In your Wellington boot?

My fascination with ancestral signatures continues! While embroidering these names, I noticed alternate spellings/errors that I hadn't spotted before. Tohmas Willaton, Willam Goddard, Alas Rutland, Eliabeth Gibbonns... #AncestryHour

Tomorrow will be the 123rd anniversary of the marriage of my grt grandparents Ernest Wm Goddard & Betsy Steel. Their marriage lasted until Ernest's death in 1948. #AncestryHour

@ThatEricAlper McBeth

@thehistoryguy And did he?

@Joe__Williams Apparently, my 3 x grt grandmother died in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, but was buried in Ohio! ;-)

According to 60 Ancestry trees, my 8x great grandmother was from Peru, yet not a shred of evidence has been uploaded. Expecting mistranscription and confusion but feel a trip to the Hampshire Record Office might be required! #Genealogy #Ancestry #OriginalRecords

@chiddickstree I think it is Samuel. There is a hyperscript 'l' also compared to the S of Sarah.

Second opinion folks, 1841 census is it James or Samuel Chiddick? 4th Line down. I have my answer which I have believed for a long time. Second image included to highlight the handwriting any thoughts appreciated thanks #Genealogy conundrums

In my research project this week I discovered a family who used 2 different surnames for their 8 children - but helpfully left records with their children's dates of birth which made it possible to confirm they were the same family. Great detective work- if I do say so myself!

@JDWhitelaw13 Lord of the Rings. Terry Pratchetts Death Trilogy, Jodi Taylor Chronicles of St Marys

Which book have you read over and over and over again? #booktwt

@jimrosecircus1 Raspberry

The last thing you ate is what you have to name this little girl...
