Doll-sized coffins "This wasn’t seen as morbid or disturbing. To the Victorians, death and grief were very much facts of life, and playtime was the chance to do a practice run before children endured the real thing." @MariteHart @SmithsonianMag https://t.co/0DoOrEJIvU

@sundowniest Gotta love all that information in one place, in her own hand, and with personal detail that often gets left out of formulaic data!

[Eric @Coming2MyCensus]

Good to the last drop.

[The National Archives @UkNatArchives]

If you are an expert local historian, we’re looking forward to hearing from you. Likewise if you’ve never given local history a go but you’re inspired to get started, we’d love to see what you find.

In October 1836, Marshall declared his intention to marry Sarah Breck (daughter of Cap. Jos. Breck) of Littleton, Mass. On Oct 25, the two were united by William H White.

Sometime between graduating and marrying, Marshall had moved from Waltham to #RichmondMaine. #OnePlaceStudy

Sometimes a burial register can give great information. Here is the burial in #Wylye, #Wiltshire of Thomas Small, the brother of my ancestor. He was buried on 5th May 1794 aged 60 years and 10 months. The names of both his parents are recorded. #familyhistory #genealogy #ancestry

Although not all of our ancestors will have made a will, a surprising number of men and women did. Simon Wills shares his advice on how to locate these precious sources of family history. #familyhistory https://t.co/nJ96x3a8Iy

@HEBTilbrook I think that might say Gentleman. Would that make sense? #AncestryHour

Twitter says that my third anniversary was a couple days ago. But today is the 80th anniversary of my grandparents, Chester White and Alice Wiggins. Twitter sent me a fancy graphic for the wrong event, I think.

Happy anniversary, Grandfather & Grandmother!
