#AncestryHour 7pm (UK) Tuesday 🖖

I walked past my local church today and noticed the memorial to John Baxter, 'Founder of Baxter's Charities 1798'. One of my talks follows the story of a family who were recipients of a parish charity. Charity records can be a great source of information. #FamilyHistory #Wisbech

Some of you may know that I have been collecting #OldPhotos that I can identify... I hope to write mini-biographies of the sitters and uncover their stories. These lovely #Photos arrived this morning, all from the same family from Scotland. #AncestryHour Photogenealogy 📷🌳
