@exitthelemming A wonderful tribute giving the depth of your brilliant mother’s work, talent, & impact. With my Mum on the dementia journey, I might borrow your line & take inspiration remembering the entirety of her experiences & the kaleidoscope of context those born in 1930s lived through.

I wrote this obituary of my mum for The Observer observer.co.uk/obituary/loved…

@DrHelenFry The fence first prompts it is a ghetto of some kind but the sea proximity makes me think it is the Isle of Man when it was set up for prisons of war/internment of aliens during World War II?

Can you accurately determine the location and purpose of the site depicted in this photograph?

@HouseHistorian Oh! I have some direct family from that area from 18-19thC! Let me know if you come across any Wallis or Sames family members - more likely farm workers rather than house owners though

Having fun starting the next #househistory commission - a lovely C17th house in Essex! 😀 #househistories #history #Essex

Essential reading for the education sector:

I’ll be there!

2 attempts to log into my account overnight - if I start posting weird stuff they might have succeeded though always a chance I might be posting weird stuff.

@FederationFHS Spend time with family & record them - ask them to talk about memories of their ancestors; plan 5 things you want to know about your family alongside building family pedigrees; join family history societies for training & community -where you live & also places from your heritage

Working on some talks today. Thrilled to have been asked to talk about my favourite Chancery records for the @SocAustGen on 23rd November. Thanks to @STMResearch for the referral 😍 @AGRAGenealogy

@HiddenYorkshire I also think it has a twin - Mount Warning or Wollumbin in Australia as Roseberry Topping is just around from the birthplace of Capt James Cook at Great Ayton and he was the first European to write about it...(we also have his house in Melbourne) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_War…

MUM HAS DONE ANOTHER PAINTING

This seems to be the kind of day where you need to ensure you have your estate matters in order. I'm pleased to be involved in this conference coming up for @SocAustGen where we'll look back on how it was for our ancestors: sag.org.au/event-5481505

@AriadneVromen That sounds fantastic! Congratulations on the appointment!!!

A good day - cake with the @SocAustGen staff then @nswparliament for the launch of The Settlers’ Muster Book 1800: images.parliament.nsw.gov.au

Pleased to be representing @SocAustGen at this @AssocForumAU leadership event today - a quality line up of speakers & my hems have been raised for a while

Dr Mark St Leon will present a free lecture at the Randwick City Library on the history of the Sir Joseph Banks Hotel and the development and demise of Beaumont & Waller's Zoological and Botanical Gardens, Sydney’s first significant pleasure resort. eventbrite.com.au/e/rdhs-history…

Should be a great night for us in the southern hemisphere:

I’m a bit behind with work & life at the moment but looking forward to catching up on the #allaboutthatplace #AATP24 videos soon & those live today at: facebook.com/groups/allabou…

Happy publication day Cassie & Shaun! Really pleased to have been a very small part of this work on #FamilyHistory @newsouthbooksau

Love this tip:

Tip of the day: when visiting a church connected with your #familyhistory, make sure you write in the visitors’ book and mention the family you are researching. You never know who might read your entry: perhaps another descendant or a local person who can help you. #genealogy
