Many thanks indeed to Register of Qualified Genealogists for organising a wonderful conference at Royal Armouries in Leeds on Saturday. There was a fascinating range of talks on the theme of storytelling, and I very much enjoyed meeting fellow genealogists in person. #RQGConf24 #genealogy

Watch out for changes of street names (not to mention changes to house numbers / names) when researching a #HouseHistory / #StreetStudy / #OnePlaceStudy !
NEWS ποΈ on #SaveOurWills ! I have been informed today that βthe Government received over 1200 responses largely drawn from the historian, archive, and family history sectors.β Thank you everyone for the time you took to respond! I think Ministry of Justice will be busy! #FamilyHistory
Thank you very much to Register of Qualified Genealogists for giving me the opportunity to talk to members about researching the Royal Household and other links with the British monarchy. The discussion that followed my talk was very interesting. It's wonderful to share our knowledge and experiences.
Really enjoyed the @regqualgenes talk tonight by Nicholas Dixon, which introduced me to some new sources to use when researching both the titled elite and their employees. Have spent the evening browsing some of the websites/collections mentioned ππ°π

Loving this map of the London boroughs before reorganization. Tiny Penge! As seen in a wartime document intriguingly titled 'Night Folder' held in the Royal Voluntary Service archives. #Archives #History #London #WW2 #WomensHistory
NEWS: ποΈ #SaveOurWills The Petitions Committee have been contacted (see link) and inaccuracies in the Ministry of Justice's response have been outlined. The MoJ performed a cut-and-paste exercise, but failed to check the response was current and accurate. holtsfamilyhistoryresearch.co.uk/2024/03/04/wilβ¦
