To my followers: It looks like X (aka Twitter) is looking to charge for use of this platform in the future. Please ck out my account @legacyhacker at Threads since I will be deleting my account here once that goes through.

Working on a new #househistory book today after painstaking research. Fingers crossed that it turns out well. 🤞

So happy to share a client's house plaque that he had created based on research I conducted.

Nearly finished with a #househistory that was once the home of the Sisters of Mercy. Found a wonderful land division map in an early 19th c. probate record with a codicil that notes a brick house on the land that the devisee was living in at the time he received the property.

Playing around with GedMatch Ancient DNA matches. I am related by 3cM to this person who lived 8,000 years ago. I wonder if there is an inheritance, land, or castle somewhere. Nevermind, he was found in a rock shelter. 😅

If you look really carefully above the gateway...you will see the work of an absolute master. The craftsmanship that has gone into trimming the #bricks to allow a final straight course to go on after the curve of the doorway...*swoon*

I've come across A LOT of good 17th- and 18th-century Quaker names over the past 3.5 years, as I've worked on my thesis. Now that my thesis is done and submission is near, it's time to share the more than 90 wildest early Quaker names I've found (in alphabetical order):

@Freeholdliz It's a great show isn't it? How long will you be in Ireland? We should do coffee when you get back.

[Lorraine Arnold @LegacyRoots]

Watching #Eurovision from the US...sure do miss the commentators and humor of Europe. Why do we have to have a different commentator. Missing Graham Norton and his fabulous humor 😢

[Lorraine Arnold @LegacyRoots]

@Freeholdliz Good for you! Last year I watched it in England with my daughter and son-in-law. I'm already planning on going to watch it next year in England again. So disappointing in the US in comparison.

[Lorraine Arnold @LegacyRoots]

@peacock @Eurovision I wish the US commentator would talk less. Would have loved to hear Graham Norton and Hannah Waddington.

[Lorraine Arnold @LegacyRoots]

Our commentator is annoying
