We will be at the @FederationFHS Really Useful Family History Show in Bournemouth on Saturday. We'll be doing demos of the Surname Atlas software so come along and find out more about your surname and one-name studies. dorsetfhs.org.uk/events-acti…#Surnames#OneNameStudies#Genealogy
Really looking forward to attending #GuildONS today! How we organise & store our studies is a perennial subject for one-namers, it always generates much discussion, & there’s always more we can learn #OneNameStudies#OneNameStudy
The Argall one-name study is the latest feature study to appear on our home page. The Argall database now contains over 16,000 individual records representing about 97% of all the Argalls who have ever lived! one-name.org/#OneNameStudies#SurnameStudies
#OnePlaceStudies - mine is a small unfashionable street of shops in a historic market town;
#OneNameStudies - specifically those named Brecknock who spread across from Shropshire and morphed into Brecknells, Breakwells etc, etc;
The intertwining of local and family history.
I’m not a professional genealogist, but my genealogy passions are #OnePlaceStudies & #OneNameStudies. I study 2 villages, a home for inebriate women & I study a Victorian street in #Southsea. My favourite era is the Victorian era because it has such a rich seam of records!
The Dowling one-name study is the latest study to be featured on our home page. If you have any connections with this surname our Guild member Brian Dowling would be delighted to hear from you. one-name.org/#SurnameStudies#OneNameStudies#Genealogy
NEWS 🗞️ on #SaveOurWills! I have been informed today that “the Government received over 1200 responses largely drawn from the historian, archive, and family history sectors.” Thank you everyone for the time you took to respond! I think @MoJGovUK will be busy! #FamilyHistory
To be fair to them (which I don’t like to be!) the response is specifically to the petition. They will respond to our responses to the consultation paper later in the year. It is, nevertheless, a very poorly constructed response anyway…
