#AncestryHour Yesterday I managed to find some things I was looking for using FamilySearch Full Text Search! It was refreshing to complete an actual research goal instead of my usual "let's just toss in a name and place and see what happens" Bright Shiny Object forays into Full Text Search.

#AncestryHour Of course Ancestry was bound and determined to throw me off track. But I found what I was looking for at FamilySearch despite them.

#genealogy Ancestry's newest version of
"Are you *sure* you don't want to compare your trees to other people's trees? Are you *really sure* you don't want to?"
Seen as an option while I was navigating to profile on one of my trees.

#AncestryHour Greetings, all!
Various mishaps on my part have kept me away from #AATP but I hope I can see some of the presentations before they vanish.
How has your research been going?

Hello, #AncestryHour. How is everyone keeping? At the weekend I had a lovely time at a #FamilyHistory show and met up with several genie friends. No big research discoveries here as I’ve been focusing more on my studies; my palaeography skills are slowly improving.

#AncestryHour Lately I've been reviewing old research, looking for clues I may have missed in records already collected. I've also been searching newspapers, and have made a lot of little discoveries. One of my husband's great-grandfathers was known for his harmonica solos!

#AncestryHour You never know when some one-line story about a person visiting relatives will crack open a research problem, or confirm an analysis that you worked out the long way. I especially like description of events with out-of-town guests like anniversary parties. So useful for #FAN research.

#AncestryHour Yes, and sometimes with the plays you get a cast list so you can see who performed which roles.
I also like seeing how far news spread geographically, and in time. My farthest-out stories so far: a "150 Years Ago" column; USA news in papers from Yorkshire, & English news in NZ/AUS.

#AncestryHour US historical newspapers, especially in the social news sections, can be full of things like this. Which club put on a show, who acted in a play, who was known for cooking at the clambake. I enjoy the accounts of market days and local fesivals in papers from England, too. 📰
