MikeEvery once in a while I dabble with the family tree I started during lockdown.Every single time I get into it I end up trying to unravel a family of shrimp fisherfolk from Ramsgate in Kent from the mid / late 19th century. I suspect they didn't do a lot of fishing looking at the number of children they had.It doesn't help that all the children had nicknames and 'also known as' names.<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/geneology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#geneology</a>

Frank‘I think we brought the wrong one home’: one mother’s search to find her lost sonJoan always suspected she had been handed someone else’s baby by the hospital when she gave birth more than 70 years ago.

Mildly Amusing Bored HousewifeI just got an email from Ancestry.com saying my story could be featured in an upcoming campaign. Apparently they’re looking for families where the men married younger women, those wives died under suspicious circumstances and then the grieving men married even younger women.

Exiled New Yorker - ConnieI do genealogy work. I’ve done *a lot.* I haven’t collated it all because, my goddess, what a gargantuan task. Adoptee (me) found Dad after having no sense of self.I’ve found I have at least 4 12th G grandparents that came over on the Mayflower. Three from mum, pat and mat, 1 from Dad, pat. So freaking far. Only 53 people survived the 1st winter.It doesn’t make me feel good at all. How would YOU feel?PLEASE boost.

QuokkaMochaFamily photos part 2. First was found behind the 1920s photo in my last post, I side the same frame. No idea who it is, but this was dated 1928. The second, no idea if the year is deliberate or accidental. Also no idea who the woman is. This I think is my great grandmother, mother of my maternal grandmother. Taking this from the next photo, though faded, shows her with my great grandfather. Thought maybe <a href="https://mindly.social/@floofpaldi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@floofpaldi</a> might find this and the previous post interesting. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/geneology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#geneology</a>
