Turnstones leave no stone unturned in their search for tasty morsels... #myhandleexplained #genealogy #familyhistory #winterwatch
Turnstones get their names as when foraging on the shoreline they flip over stones! They can be seen fluttering around the rocks searching for any food that lies underneath them #Winterwatch 😍🐦

That's it, I'm out. First, a complete break while I try to sort some stuff out. After that, I expect I'll be back on social media in some form or another... but I doubt it will be here. See you all anon.

Today I'm reviewing the profiles I added to my #OPS on WikiTree during last weekend's Connect-a-thon. Adding sources, tidying up the formatting, planning next steps. #OnePlaceWednesday

@AtcherleyONS @BNArchive Excellent find! I have estate workers in my family tree, they make very interesting research subjects.

@OnePlaceStudies Ah, the place in your photo is very much tied in with my recent family history. Annual visits throughout my childhood. Must make a return visit soon!

@Historylady2013 @AtcherleyONS Maybe Annulet or Scotch Annulet? But I find moths really tricky. Paging @plymptonbirder

@AineDonnghaile @FrugalFH @AncestryUK Thank you, I have managed to browse my way to the relevant index entry on the UK government probate site and ordered a copy of the will. He didn't end well, hoping his will provides some hope of redemption.

@FrugalFH @AncestryUK Ooft! I've managed to tweak the search terms and force the page to appear in browsable search results on the uk dot gov site. That was so much more difficult that it should be. Not sure if it's me or them! 😆
