#Genealogy #GenHour #Ancestry #FamilyHistory not replacing #AncestryHour but a new chat hour for genealogists on Bluesky

Excited a new genealolgy chat hour #GenHour is going to be staring on Blue Sky on September 5th at 8pm. Then alternate weeks with the intervening weeks being 1-2pm. It will never replace #AncestryHour on X(Twitter) but is an attempt to pull the genealogy folk together in one place. Find us on Bluesky for #GenHour

We welcome the brilliant Jackie Depelle to Ep5 of The Family Histories Podcast today!

Two things we have been reminded of by #allaboutthatplace is:
1. In your research expand from your family to where they lived, worked, played and worshipped.
2. As 'family' historians we still need to collaborate more.

@GenealogRebecca Hi Rebecca! Rest assured, the AH team is exploring options at the moment. Once we find a suitable solution which allows us to run AH as a team (believe me, there's a lot that happens behind-the-scenes to keep each live hour going!) we'll be letting everyone know.

So please do watch this space, and in the meantime do keep tweeting your #FamilyHistory thoughts/qus with the #AncestryHour hashtag. We're looking forward to bringing the live hour back as soon as it's workable 👍
