Been completely sidetracked by coverage of a 1933 murder in the flat next door to mine in London. Victim had the same name as the person I was looking for.

(The nephew done it.)

1860 #Boston by hot air balloon. Besides the earliest aerial view of #Beantown it is reportedly the oldest aerial photo in the world thst exists.

Perhaps we *could* but would we want to do so? No.

An absolutely fabulous job by @ctcantwell, Christy Kirwan and Martin Parfrey who organised this year's #Bessborough commemoration.

Was honoured to be a speaker again reading out the new names of 29 people that @Project_Infant volunteers found.

Footage to follow.

My great grandmother was an alcoholic. When I researched her life, I discovered abject poverty and multiple catastrophic, unprocessed losses. No wonder she self-medicated.

The 18-month-wait is over. I just learned my late father from the former USSSR has a 127-page FBI file. I can't wait to see it. I heard he was part of a NASA project as an electrical engineer so this could be an interesting read. Stay tuned!

This week in June 1968: Janet McCloud, also known as Yet-Si-Blue, led a group of demonstrators to the capitol grounds in Olympia. They were protesting the restriction of their fishing rights guaranteed by the 1854 Treaty of Medicine Creek. #waleg #BoldtDecision #FishWars

@MiningthePast @ancresbyjacq @ShamrockGen Agreed. Game-changer BUT you get all of it for free from say, MyHeritage. OTOH - Ancestry has as many #DNA tests as all the others combined. So, I'll pay. #sigh

[Ancestral Research by Jacqueline 🌳🧬 @ancresbyjacq]

I've just discovered I have the new Pro Tool DNA matches tool on #Ancestry . Oh my word, I'm not going to start playing now (at 9.03pm) but this looks so useful. #DNA #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

A thoughtful new paper from the Dutch bioethicist Nina de Groot. She argues that for the purposes of sharing genetic data we need to look beyond approaches based on individual informed consent. She proposes a contextual integrity framework. https://t.co/OeJK77Ml8K
