Hey guys apologies for cancelling tonight’s lesson. I’m not feeling 100% so don’t want to look like a bag of crap on screen. Enjoy your weekend

It may be a little off topic, but I thought it was a wonderful story which I knew nothing about until my husband mentioned it this morning, and I have no idea how it came up in conversation, but it did 🤣 https://www.worldwar1centennial.org/index.php/communicate/press-media/wwi-centennial-news/1210-cher-ami-the-pigeon-that-saved-the-lost-battalion.html

Tell us a little bit about who you are, and where you're from and we want to know: 1. Who you’re researching 2. Where they’re from (if you know) 3. And what you’re stuck on (or hoping to learn) Ask a question, even if it's basic. There is no such thing as a silly genealogy question here!

Before I take the plunge and order a marriage certificate, can anyone advise where else I can seach for the marriage details of Hannah Ferry born 1855, Sunderland (Parents William Ferry and Hannah Clark). I have found 2 possible marriages - Robert William Evans (Married 1875 - Sunderland) William Clouder (Married 1877 - Sunderland) I have searched - Ancestry, Findmypast, Familysearch, and Durham Records Online, but they have only resulted in the Index record which doesn't show her fathers details etc. On the census of 1871 Hannah was living at 12 Gerald Street, Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland, if that may help. Thank you

(Just saw this on another group and thought it might be of interest to some people) A historical topic that is currently passionate about genealogists around the world... The US National Archives recently uploaded the NSDAP membership file (part nazi ), a major historical source thus far hardly accessible. The interest was such that the site was even temporarily saturated. These archives allow, in some cases, to find: a date of birth a place of birth a date of joining and even the digitized membership card A valuable document for those who wish to better understand their family history and explore sometimes unknown breads of the past. A particularly useful resource for research related to people born before 1926. Unfortunately it didn't give a link.
