As promised, here's my quick guide to Welsh chapel architecture. Watch before it gets to 100 views if you can so its advert free. YouTube put ads on after that for which I don't get paid and can't remove until I get 1000 subscribers.

Tuesday's Tip "Search Records not Boxes" Don't continually put your ancestor's name in a search box and press enter. Learn the records in the database and search the records your ancestor might be in.

Viewing books purchased in Wales on my recent research trip, I wondered why I paid 15 pounds for The Carmarthenshire Antiquary, 2021. After reading 'Coming of Age' Landowners and Tenants... by Shaun Evans my purchase made sense. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

Tune in at 11 on Sunday as I speak for 15 minutes (probably repetition, definitely deviation, no time for hesitation) on the subject of witchcraft. Join historians on Sat/Sun for live #HistoryforUkraine event. See speakers, how to watch and where to donate historyforukraine.co

#SoGSaturday We're sharing another #SoGTreasure from the vaults - here is Ellen Lister's diary and its 1914 entry, from our Lister Collection.
As you can see in red, she briefly noted 'War against Germany Arrived'
