I spend little time on mastodon these weeks because there were, and will be, many informal care tasks . Normally doing research helps me to relax, but unfortunately right now I am waiting for documents to be scanned about The Hague theater and fair in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Very belatedly - only tracing this since early 1980s! - spotted the 1871 Wilton Dean #census gives more accurate birthplace for my ggg-granny Margaret Cavers, Mrs Hall. Other records say Stow parish, Midlothian or Selkirkshire. This census says Fairnehirst, Midlothian i.e. farm Ferniehirst near Torwoodlee. There's no surviving record of her baptism. Her parents moved around a lot - her dad Thomas was a shepherd. Her widowed mum Helen ended up back at #Hawick. #genealogy #FamilyHistory #Scotland

Census of the family Hugh and Margaret Hall and their children. Hugh is a Wool Machine Worker. Everyone is born in Wilton, Roxburghshire except for Margaret, who is noted as born in Fairnehirst, Midlothian.

What people think #genealogy is like: Grammas telling stories, and fancy charts that look like trees.

What it's actually like: Realizing that a specific Dayton, OH, yearbook (Roosevelt High 1942 or 1943) is the thing you need/want most in the world. And you're getting a little desperate for it.

It's like a scavenger hunt YOU made up! For one thing! That no one has! What fun! #history #research

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Manchester

65 years ago this week, my grandfather Frank Whitworth retired. He had worked for 52 years with the same company, I J & G Cooper at 7 Dale Street ("Seven Dale House") Manchester - although that included his 3 years active service in the war.

52 years working for the same organisation sounds so strange now!

Mention in the Evening Chronicle and something in the in-house magazine.

We only overlapped by a few months so I don't remember him at all.

Newspaper cutting with grainy black and white pic of two men and an armchair in an office, a group of other people behind. Article reads as follows:

EVENING CHRONICLE Wed., Oct. 1, 1958
After 52 years’ service with I J. and G. Cooper Ltd., merchants, of Dale Street, Manchester, Mr. Frank Whitworth, of Newton Heath, Manchester, retired today. He was presented with an armchair, a pressure cooker, a cheque and a bouquet of flowers for his wife. He is shown behind the chair (on left) with Mr. B. J. Walton, director and company secretary, at the presentation.

Typewritten article reads as follows:

Mr F Whitworth.

Mr. Whitworth will be retiring on Tuesday next, 30th September. He joined the Company on 30th April 1906 as a boy in the Town Room and has successfully held positions as Accounts Clerk, Counter Cashier, Invoice Room Manager and for several years past he has been responsible for discipline and output from the General Office in Manchester. : , During the 52 years he has been in the Company's employ, he has always given loyal, cheerful and efficient service to all, and has been largely responsible for the smooth working between the office and departments and branches. His knowledge of Cooper's history and evolution on the clerical side is unique; in fact, one can hardly ask him any question regarding the Company which he cannot answer. Unfortunately, during the past year he has had indifferent health but he carries with him the best wishes of all his colleagues for a speedy and complete recovery, so that he and Mrs. Whitworth may enjoy a long and happy period of retirement.

I thought this kind of marriage was not cool in 1858 in Britain? A bit confused by this one. I mentioned deceased wife's sister marriage like a week or so ago & I thought it didn't become legal 'til 1907, so I wonder what's going on in the 1850s? #Genealogy

My great x4 grandfather's baptism record. Nathaniel Taylor, 1st August 1784, at All Saints #NewtonHeath #Manchester.

Interesting that his father (my g5gf) Samuel's occupation is given as Webster - an old name for a loom operator, or weaver - although it sounds such a 21st century occupation.

Also interesting that pic 1 is from the bishop's transcript, certified as a true copy of the original (pic 2). However my g5gm's name Mary has been mis-transcribed as Margrat.

extract from a baptism register for 1784:
Aug 1. Nathaniel son of Samuel & Margret Taylor, Moston, Webster.

Good morning! Today I woke up still excited about a discovery I made yesterday in my family tree. I found my 2xgreat grandparents + their children on a passenger list when they immigrated from Ireland to Boston.

I know this isn't big news for anyone else, but I've worked on this for weeks. I had to learn a lot about Irish + immigration records, but I did it + I'm proud of myself. I'll be smiling all day.

Find something to smile about today, even though it's Monday.

Auntie Hilda, my great aunt (my Nan's sister in law), Hilda (Jackson) Baybutt, born 07/02/1908 in Salford, died 10/11/2016 in Bournemouth.

We often visited her and her husband in Bournemouth when we went on family holidays to the south coast. Pic is when they visited us in 1974 for a family wedding.

There are some online articles about her achieving 108 in the Bournemouth press.

Things you find going through baptismal records. These drawings were in the middle of 1762, Ogeu les Bains, France. They are the only drawings in the record books that I've found. I wonder if they mean anything or the person was bored and doodling. #Genealogy #Geneadons

Drawings found in the middle of the 1762 Ogeu les Bains baptismal registry show two human figures, some sort of banner, numbers, the surname LaPenne, and the year 1806.

My journey into #genealogy was inspired by my late mother Betty and her unusual maiden surname (Mum is pictured here in 1961 with her parents, Fred and Louisa #Atcherley).

I started in 2007, when I found Mum's grandparents in the 1901 #census before pushing further back into the 1800s.

Intrigued by the various Atcherleys I found I started researching them all in an attempt to work out which ones were 'mine'. This led to a #OneNameStudy (or #SurnameStudy) - hence my handle 'AtcherleyONS'.

Left to right are my late mother, holding a white handbag; her mother (wearing glasses, and looking older than she really was); and her father (wearing a suit and tie as he almost always did, but not his usual flat cap!).

Hoe anderen genealogen bekijken en genealogen zichzelf.🤣

Humor: 6 foto's met beschrijvingen hoe mensen genealogen bekijken: familieleden, vrienden, moeders, Ancestry, de maatschappij en wijzelf.

I’m always amused by white people who claim to have indigenous ancestry, take a DNA test, and it turns up nothing.

“These tests are obviously flawed!”

Or maybe grandma lied to you.

Thank you to everyone who has just followed me.

If I may reintroduce myself; I'm Elizabeth, a British/German citizen, writer, translator, & #history / #genealogy enthusiast.

I love discovering remarkable stories from the past, & sharing them, either in written form or (lately) as TikTok videos.

My other interests include #WW1, classic films, legal cases, & raising awareness of #GenitopatellarSyndrome, which my beloved niece has.

I look forward to getting to know you all.

Hello to anyone out there! 👋

Given the current chaos on the Bird Site, I thought I'd give Mastodon another go.

I've also changed servers to make a fresh start - and reconnect with #genealogy peeps.

I'll write more tomorrow, but in the meantime, hope you're all well.

If you need anything from #Ancestry or #Newspapers, let me know. I just uninstalled #Reddit from my phone. #genealogy

What does everyone use to store and work on their #genealogy data? As a #linux and #opensource user I have settled on Gramps https://gramps-project.org/. I use google drive to manage all of the documents that I find to support my tree.
