It's nearly a year ago that I set up a blog to share my family stories. I previously published them on my business website but I'm now retired and wanted another platform for when my website goes. Here is the welcome post I wrote a while back 🙃 #familyhistory

I always enjoy reading your posts and articles Paul. Your storytelling certainly brings your subjects to life.
During the summer of 2025 I visited the WW1 battlefields and I made a promise. At every cemetery I visited, I would choose one individual, not known to me, and tell their story. This is the final story……..#WW1 #Genealogy #MilitaryHistory #History

On this day (5th Dec) in 1866, my 2 x great grandparents George Rutter (1840-1905) and Jane Hampson (1845-1902) married in St Clement Church, Toxteth #liverpool although both were born in #cheshire. George was a police constable & Jane’s father was a mariner. #familyhistory

This is likely the oldest original family photo we have. It is my 3 x GGM Frances Hanlon (1838-1892 #Liverpool) who married Robert Hornby. Her father Michael Hanlon was a spectacle maker/optician born in #Ireland 🇮🇪 c1804. She was one of 9 children. #ancestry #familyhistory #oldphotos

@atlanticgen.bsky.social Hi Peggy - it’s interesting to see #novascotia in your bio. My husband has a line from Pictou, Nova Scotia - his 3 x GGM and 4 x GGparents who moved to Australia in the 1850s - it was the Ballarat, Victoria gold rush that brought them here we believe.

Hello from Perth, Western Australia, the world’s most isolated capital city. Having heard so many genealogy podcasts mentioning Bluesky, I decided I should come and play here too. I look forward to connecting, learning and sharing here 😉
