  9. For genealogists and historians, there are some updates to newspapers on Papers Past. A good update for Taranaki but the rest are pretty minor:

    - Otago Daily Times (January-March 1886)
    - Otago Witness (April 1909, December 1909)
    - Taranaki Daily News (1936-1945)
    - Timaru Herald (June 1913)

  16. For those #genealogists using Family Historian 7 #genealogysoftware (or 5 or 6) and who want to backup their FH settings (not genealogy data but software settings/customizations) or move to a new machine, the "Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings via Windows" plugin just received a major upgrade.

  20. For those #genealogists who have their own websites, you might want to look at "Hirtius a (online) Historical Research Assistant" (emphasis on the historical) - it's software with very basic genealogy functionality, combined with photo management and a wiki. It won't replace a full-featured online genealogy app, but it could be an interesting research/collaboration tool:

  23. @[email protected] @[email protected] As someone who is still "the secret" to some in my family, I ask you to consider that the need that some feel for these secrets is rooted in shame & this kind of shame is quite unhealthy for everyone involved. Of course, I'm not proposing that no care should be taken or that anyone should be deliberately outed via a public family tree. But I do think that should be concerned with truthfulness in their documentation & shouldn't perpetuate misinformation.

  28. It is that kind of Wednesday with #genealogy

    I know sand boxes are a way to parse out fact from fiction but I really dislike creating them. They are so time consuming trying to convince others why it was needed in the first place.

    As a ProGen, it was extremely challenging convincing people that #DNA #ethnicity reporting can actually hinder research. But with very little paper trails, #family #folklore and #stories change from fiction to fact. Aaagh.

  32. @jayperry I hope you will! (I need to share some of my own interesting/funny family 🌳 finds one of these days. Used to do that on the dead bird site but I think there are more on Mastodon to appreciate them.)

    P.S. On your blog post you wrote, “My grandmother passed away a few years ago and left behind mountains of stuff. She had a habit of clinging to things.” My late grandmother & mom, bless ‘em, also kept tons of documents, letters, old address books… ain’t this the truth!👇
