Wishing this Scottish legend a happy retirement @RealMacKaySTV Think he’s only doing it so I stop pestering him to send random videos to my class! Always been happy to help over the last 8 years! 😊

@ucdarchives My great Granda Byrne on the far right. Picture taken in Dublin around 1916. No idea who the other men are. Few names noted on the photograph. My father thinks the men could be part of the Dublin Brigade?

My Great Granda Byrne (back right) in the Irish Free State Army during the Irish Civil War, 1922-1923. Managed to get a hold of his army record a few years back. The daughter Helen who is 1 year-old mentioned in the file is my grandmother. #ancestryhour #irishhistory #genealogy

My x4 great grandfather, George Reid (1755-1859). Died at the age of 104. You’re looking at the face of someone born in the 18th century! #History #genealogy #orkney

95 years ago on Christmas Eve, my grandfather’s fishing boat was smashed up in a storm. Along with three other fishermen he had to swim to safety and find help. He was only 18 at the time. #ancestryhour #genealogy #familyhistory
