An absolutely fabulous job by @ctcantwell, Christy Kirwan and Martin Parfrey who organised this year's #Bessborough commemoration.

Was honoured to be a speaker again reading out the new names of 29 people that @Project_Infant volunteers found.

Footage to follow.

My great grandmother was an alcoholic. When I researched her life, I discovered abject poverty and multiple catastrophic, unprocessed losses. No wonder she self-medicated.

The 18-month-wait is over. I just learned my late father from the former USSSR has a 127-page FBI file. I can't wait to see it. I heard he was part of a NASA project as an electrical engineer so this could be an interesting read. Stay tuned!

This week in June 1968: Janet McCloud, also known as Yet-Si-Blue, led a group of demonstrators to the capitol grounds in Olympia. They were protesting the restriction of their fishing rights guaranteed by the 1854 Treaty of Medicine Creek. #waleg #BoldtDecision #FishWars

@MiningthePast @ancresbyjacq @ShamrockGen Agreed. Game-changer BUT you get all of it for free from say, MyHeritage. OTOH - Ancestry has as many #DNA tests as all the others combined. So, I'll pay. #sigh

I've just discovered I have the new Pro Tool DNA matches tool on #Ancestry . Oh my word, I'm not going to start playing now (at 9.03pm) but this looks so useful. #DNA #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

Happy bonfire night from Wexford :)
St John’s Eve, June 23rd, was traditionally marked by the construction of large bonfires in the Irish countryside. Theses were the focal point of communal festivities, people gathered to dance & sing, while young men leaped through the flames

Little powwow dancer in her powwow regalia. She’s absolutely adorable — agree?

How I imagine myself while working in my garden

[Into The Forest Dark @ElliottBlackwe3]

Shouldn't there be a sign over the door that reads "Mr Sanders" and a bear with very little brain eating honey from a pot inside?

[Debbie Kennett 🧬🌳 @DebbieKennett]

A useful review article looking at the history of forensic genetics and the move to SNPs. Includes interesting observations about the Carla Walker case which set a precedent for the admissibility of genetic genealogy evidence in court. https://t.co/bBrVgW00IF #Forensics
