Please join us for the meeting of York FHS on Wednesday 3rd June. This month's meeting is a talk from our own Steve Barrett "My Milling Ancestors". The story and lives of the Yorkshire millers who were Steve's ancestors is a fascinating tale of living this dangerous life.
@BloozEXTRA What on earth is going on? I lived in this City for 30 years and I bring friends down from York to show them the beautiful Victorian buildings of Birmingham. It looks like tarmac alley!
We welcomed nearly 100 genealogists in Birmingham (UK) on Saturday 25 April 2026 for our biannual family history conference. Networking was a core element of the day. More impressions on our website: https://t.co/raZWL6XxrW

A glorious visit to St Martins Church in Birmingham today to view the wonderful carvings depicting the last days of Jesus on earth - from his triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the traitors kiss. @TheIronRoom @OurTownStory @GuildOneName
Great talk at YAYAs on Wednesday last - all about Rev Charles Wellbeloved. I visited his grave at the Unitarian chapel in St Saviourgate some time ago. Church burials had been banned in York by that time but the Council agreed to allow this one. @RoyalHistSoc
I was stumbling around in the archives yesterday and came across this cheeky chap advertising distemper in York in 1925. I thought distemper was a disease that animals got! 🤔
