Every city has a soul, and you can feel New Bedford's pulsing on streets like this. These Belgian blocks which many of us think of as cobblestones and these buildings have seen so much life, so many stories.

Even if you don't embark on a full #OnePlaceStudy of an ancestral place, researching the locality and the community in which your ancestors lived can enhance your understanding of their lives. Add some #LocalHistory / #CommunityHistory to your #FamilyHistory!

One of the new historical interpretive signs that I helped research and design as part of the @stocktonhistsoc.bsky.social project. #Stockton #CommunityHistory #LocalHistory #OnePlaceStudy
An historical interpretative sign set in a garden bed titled: "Where Maitland and Mitchell Street meet". The sign was designed and placed by the Stockton Historical Society Inc. It has information on Cambrian House and Stockton's Original School.

One of my favorite things about doing research in a small town is that you always find connections to other people you “know” from the past. #researching #publichistory #localhistory #communityhistory

We're all about #OnePlaceStudies of course— but we also like to encourage place-based (and #CommunityHistory / #SocialHistory) research in #FamilyHistory. An article added to the Family History Zone website last month looking at The #Genealogy of Place ties in nicely with that. #OnePlaceWednesday
The Genealogy of Place: Exploring Ancestral Geographies - Family History Zone
Our family histories are often shaped by place. The environments our ancestors inhabited left lasting imprints on their lives—and ours.
