I’d like to apologise to the thousands of patients I dispensed prescriptions to over the years. Specifically, where two or more boxes were provided cellotaped together to save a label. Being on the receiving end of it myself now 🤬🤯😫 karma giving me a good old bitch slap 👋

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

@Passionflower99 Fantastic thank you 😊

Fellow genies I need some help, I’m hoping you will be best placed to advise. My local food bank have been tremendous during the pandemic. They are wanting a scrapbook/photo album to document this living history. I’ve offered to do this, here’s where the help comes in...

It needs to be easy to print a hard copy and be linked to their facebook page for others to view online. I’ve seen a view photo book apps that look good but before I invest I’d like some recommendations. Not too expensive would be great!

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

I’ve been trying to put something together in a word document but it looking terrible and will not be easy to print a book when finished. I see there are various apps around that I could use instead. Have any of you used one you would recommend?

@Passionflower99 Broke my heart to leave but I needed adaptations for my mobility that couldn’t be done there. I had the most amazing neighbours too 😭😭😭

Doing a tree that has led me to 1870s Aberdeen... census records put the family living at the exact address that 125 odd years later would be my student digs. Such a weird feeling, like that described as someone walking over your grave, but visa versa in this case!

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

@Passionflower99 No not yet but I feel a dive down a rabbit hole coming right up!

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

@Passionflower99 Until last year I lived in the same street as my great grandmother, grandmother and mother. All in different houses and all at different times. It is a really weird feeling when you stop to think about it. Sadly on this occasion this is a tree for a friend so relation.

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

@Passionflower99 My eyes popped out my head. I had to look up maps just to be sure I was remembering my old address correctly but sure enough it was one and the same. It was fun seeing it again, some fun memories made there 🤪😉🤫

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

@R0nnieBergman Cheers Ronster, you too 🤗🤗🤗

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

This makes me so sad 😞 6 years ago today. Before I started getting ill. I loved studying and took great pride in doing it well. Last month I had to drop out of my #genealogy postgrad dip. I can’t even finish an essay now never mind do it well.

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

I’ve also had pharyngitis for weeks. In my efforts to stand out from every crowd I have even managed to catch a nasty virus, a totally different one from everyone else 🤔🤪😫

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

I’m having a rest for now and hopefully I will go back. Unfortunately I’ll have to pay again which pretty much rules that out but you never know!

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

@R0nnieBergman I had no idea she wasn’t irish, what a talent! Smoking didn’t bother me as that’s what I was like too so it felt real. Everything felt so real and took me back to those heady days, seemingly effortlessly. Truly remarkable piece of art. I just want more, so much more!

Not going to lie I think #NormalPeople is some of the most painfully beautiful television I’ve ever seen. The only thing I hated was that it ended. If you haven’t seen it, do, do it now.

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

@KindredGene1 I know right! I was blown away really wasn’t expecting much of anything or I’d have been and visited myself. It’s filled in a few blanks I never thought would ever be filled, I thought I was well passed that stage in my research. Utterly delighted with the person who found it.

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

A very kindly soul on FAG uploaded an image of my 3x, 2x great grandfather’s grave marker. Alex describes himself as ‘merchant’ my records have him as a shoemaker, later grocer. I think of merchant as more of a toff. Anyone any ideas about the loose use of the word merchant?

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

@alliethinks They were from a very small village maybe he thought himself a cut above (although I very much hope not, no one likes a snob 😆). Maybe he just wanted his descendants (that’d be me!) to think highly of him. His son wrote a book of socialist poetry so no snob there.

[Little Miss Genealogy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyGenetic]

@alliethinks It may be due to use having an area of Glasgow called merchant city, where the tobacco lords etc lived. Big properties, now very trendy pubs and clubs.
