A thought that has occurred to me, regarding this month’s #OnePlaceStudy blogging prompt #OnePlaceGifts, is that our studies themselves, when we share the information we gather, transcribe and synthesise, are gifts to the wider #FamilyHistory and #LocalHistory communities. 🎁 #OnePlaceWednesday
Our blogging & social media prompt this month is #OnePlaceGifts! Tell us about gifts given or received in your #OnePlaceStudy, at Christmas or other occasions. Or about gifts connected with your Place that you have given/received. Or maybe people in your Place with special gifts! #OnePlaceWednesday

For #OnePlaceWednesday I’ve been trying to catalogue a donation to the heritage centre. It’s a diverse set of records from one family ranging from a rent book beginning in 1862 to memories of an Arctic whaling trip in the 1950s. #NorthWallsAndBrims #Orkney #OnePlaceStudy

It does sound like it. Right now I'm working on a #oneplacestudy of the Mother of Good Counsel convent in Chicago, Illinois. It's Felician and in the early days, mostly Galician, Prussian, and first-generation Wisconsin women. Nice to meet you!

Looking for Christmas-time articles in old newspapers that might relate to my #OnePlaceStudy in Shropshire and spotted a 1913 column entitled “In Lighter Vein.” On the subject of what food to serve: “One can always fall back on pheasant, a feat which if well performed will much amuse your guests.”
