St Fernando III of Castile and León was a merciful man toward those he defeated, often giving generous terms to the vanquished. But he never went soft. His virtues were never weaponized against him. When he reclaimed Córdoba from the Saracens in 1236 and discovered the Bells of

That maddening feeling... when you know you're right about a #genealogy connection, but the record that could prove it would be in 1748, and the parish registers before 1749 are water-damaged, bug-nibbled confetti...

After surviving Napoleon's armies, neglect, arson and a host of other challenges, parish records in rural Spanish churches are now under threat from wildfires. #genealogy youtu.be/iUUMQsDNyi4

The Society recently applied to get 79 Maidstone Rd, a substantial Victorian building, added to the statutory list of nationally significant buildings. The former house (later school), was to be converted into flats, with a supermarket to be built in its grounds. #Victorianhouse

However by the time Historic England arrived on site to assess the house for listing, many of its historic fittings - including the remarkable balustraded staircase lobby - had already been ripped out, the building’s architectural and historic significance profoundly diminished.

Google AI is worse than useless: it repeatedly asserts untruths. Give it the name of a Spanish parish or a double-barrelled surname like Fernández-de-Whatever, and it will try to convince you no such place/family exists. #genealogy

If you're a #genealogy aficionado, this may be the most uplifting news you read all day: a 340-year-old burials register was returned to a Spanish parish, having turned up at a flea market in Moldavia. elconfidencial.com/espana/madrid/…

Como descendiente de hidalgos de las Merindades de Burgos, digo y aseguro que la hidalguía era el derecho a pasar hambre con dignidad. Por lo menos en las Merindades se concedía por méritos de guerra, no como en Vizcaya, donde era universal, sin mérito. eldebate.com/cultura/202509…

One of those days... when you receive a lazy, apathetic reply from an archive and hear Chandler's voice saying "Could you BE any less helpful?!" #genealogy
