@TroveAustralia Used Trove numerous times in researching my blog on little-known women from many countries https://t.co/MAoh0nEpxb. Have often discovered international stories and reports via Trove not found elsewhere.

An interview I did about the HMS Terror book, for those interested in hearing me speak. I get well into the weeds on this, so I beg your indulgence (unless you love details). @penswordbooks @SeaforthPub

@WomenWriters Loved this article as I have similar background to Tina Beattie. I look forward to reading the book.

[Marina Maxwell @OfArbeia]

@LonelyTower Wow! Looking forward to this, my ancestors were lead miners.

[Marina Maxwell @OfArbeia]

@LynnsWPics These people look uncannily like an Australian family I know, ancestors from Wales. Any clues as to who they are or where from?

[Marina Maxwell @OfArbeia]

@nickfshort @HelenRappaport How interesting! But from his pic looks Melanesian not Polynesian. Different race and culture. Most likely from French New Caledonia.

@Just_JanisB Didn’t know about earlier book on South Shields pubs. My father b. 1904 lived as a child in long demolished old Tyne Dock Inn W. Holborn, my grandad manager.
