If you're watching #Stolen, take a look at this map. Through my research, I try and illustrate just how easy it could be to be related to a child who died in a mother & baby home.

This doesn't include the thousands born in them.

Did any of your ancestors find themselves on the wrong side of the law? Were they involved in a shocking crime? We're particularly keen on instances where there was some doubt involved...

Very pleased to report that the production company were able to send me a link to the episode of Finding Your Roots that I did some research for.
So the good news is that I've now been able to watch the episode.
In other news, they didn't actually use any of my research... 🫤

#genealogytwitter I have a second question for you all tonight!

What is your biggest piece of research advice?

At the beginning of her life, my mother was born in a mother & baby home with the third highest death rate in Ireland.

At 15 days old, my mother was sent in a taxi to an adoption home halfway up the country with her mother.

Her mother would visit her a few times by...

In the summer of 1936 my grandparents moved into a new house in Carrick Knowe, in the west of Edinburgh. This document records their 'Application for a Tenancy of a Dwelling-House...'
My grandma was still living in the house when she died nearly 54 years later...

Last night I did an adoptee search for a bio mom, had no info whatsoever, just ancestry results to go off of and keeping the adoptee’s birth year/place in mind… used two matches which were 93cm and 22cm and found bmom within the hour. Nobody can hide from me 🗣️

Hi #genealogytwitter!

I recently had a clear out of everyone I was following as I had 5+ years of followers- mainly random/dead accounts!

I have tried to follow everyone genealogy related again- sorry if I've missed you - please just give me a nudge!

[Daniel Loftus is working on #ProjectInfant. 🌳🔎 @danielmloftus]

I feel so lucky with the amazing volunteers I work with (usually daily) at @Project_Infant.

Two weeks ago, I'd no idea what would be done.

I'm uploading one county home, with another quick to follow.

We've found almost 1.1K more names between the four more we have in progress.

[Anna W🇺🇦 #SaveOurWills @ThatGeneGal]

Sorry #genealogytwitter I forgot my question on Monday! Masters work has taken over 😂

My question is- how do you deal with tricky news with a client? Do you tell them beforehand?

(I’m talking about something a recent ancestor did, not a guy convicted of a petty crime in 1700)
