Rabbit Holes & Goals

It’s a new year & suddenly, we’re one quarter of the way through the century. How did that happen? Here’s a small look back at my 2024, which I posted for posterity.

Although I took a break from work over Christmas, I have some new articles for you to read. First up, some original research spawned by a gift of Turkish Delight. Find out why this (totally unPC but relevant) statue features here. This one was a real rabbit hole.

It’s also the time of year when I begin teaching in Malahide Community School again. There’s still a couple of places left if you are local to the area. More details & booking.

I’m rarely away from my DNA results and a glance at my Ancestry ThruLines just before Christmas prompted me to write this article about its perils.

Lastly, the first book review of the year is up. Lineage Societies by Kimberley Ormsby Nagy - it’s not really for a European audience, but I suspect of great value for those who want to join a society.

I’m busy finalising my lecture schedule for the year but March is already shaping up to be a busy month between a return visit to Salt Lake City for Rootstech and online talks in at least 2 more countries. I’ll release a calendar soon. I’m very exciting to be doing a first talk for Legacy Family Tree Webinars in August, which you can already register for! It’s all about Irish Quakers.

Let me know what your genealogical goals are for the year.
