Do you have any famous figures in your #FamilyTree? 🌳 Whether they're sporting stars, celebrities, royals, literary heroes, scientists, or explorers, we'd love to know 🤗
How's this for a #FamilyTree? 👑 🤩 Published in the Illustrated London News in 1953, this decorative family tree shows the descendants of King George V and Queen Mary. 📷 bit.ly/3y1aKaW
Our video "Slaughter on the Somme: The Story of the Hobbs Brothers," made possible with the help of @findmypast, follows the fortunes of one Division and the Hobbs brothers as they attacked the most heavily defended part of the battlefield.
The most extensive British census open to the public, the #1921Census is a detailed snapshot of 38 million lives from June 1921. What were your ancestors up to? bit.ly/446ki0j
If you could ask your ancestors anything, what would it be?
If we put our heads (and family trees) together, could we find the most uncommon surnames, and maybe a distant cousin or two? Which are the rarest surnames in your family?
The 1931 Census may have taken place on 26 and 27 April 1931, but another very important census was taken the summer before. At least, according to this report 🐰 🦔 📷 Daily Herald, 27 April 1931 bit.ly/4aET0AB
Tell us a crazy historical fact about your hometown 😅 And if you've ever thought about doing a one place study for your town, look no further 👉 bit.ly/458sYmC
On #AnzacDay, we remember our brave Australian and New Zealander ancestors who served and died in war. Who do you remember today?
Did any of your ancestors find themselves on the wrong side of the law? Were they involved in a shocking crime? We're particularly keen on instances where there was some doubt involved... We'd love to know 👀 ⬇️
In episode 3 of our podcast, @sixteenthCgirl meets Charlotte, the 4x great-granddaughter of poet William Wordsworth. Exploring @WordsworthNT, they retrace the steps of Charlotte's ancestors. Episode three: The wonders of Wordsworth House 🔉 bit.ly/3ElmNzX
We love the notes Edward Brookman left on his #1921Census return ❤️ We learn he was widowed (but also orphaned), and what he could make in his line of work as a carpenter. He was from Compton Dando, but 'don't tell everyone,' and he was the 'head and tail' of his household.
Did any of your relatives serve in the Women's Land Army? Explore their records 👉 bit.ly/3Jlcs9B 📷 Findmypast Photo Collection
Can you imagine living in the same house for 105 years? Elsie was born in her Huthwaite home 💕 And yes, it appears on the 1921 Census - can you spot it? 🎥 BBC bbc.in/3K2u7nt
Findmypast adds 280,000 #Coventry records #FamilyHistory whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/news/findmypas…
Have you ever visited your ancestor's home? Or their grave? In this episode #StepintothePast from 2023, our host @sixteenthCgirl meets David Higginson, whose ancestors worked at @nationaltrust's Quarry Bank. 🔉 Learn more and listen here 👉 bit.ly/3ElmNzX
The late Queen Elizabeth II was born on this day in 1926 👑 A very small selection of the many wonderful photos of her found in our newspaper archive.
Can you correctly guess where this is? 📍 Answers in the comments ⬇️ 📷 1954, Findmypast Photo Collection

@findmypast I consider genealogy the world largest jigsaw puzzle. And unusual/rare names to me are like the "corner pieces" for that puzzle. I always try to work on those first and often the rest of the family falls into place.
The most extensive British census open to the public, the #1921Census is a detailed snapshot of 38 million lives from June 1921. What were your ancestors up to? bit.ly/446ki0j
Our video "Slaughter on the Somme: The Story of the Hobbs Brothers," made possible with the help of @findmypast, follows the fortunes of one Division and the Hobbs brothers as they attacked the most heavily defended part of the battlefield.
@findmypast Why are you all called Sarah and Thomas? Have you *no* consideration?
@findmypast King John died in the castle
@findmypast Always check the witnesses and the siblings. They lead to cousins and aunts and extended families. People rarely act completely in isolation. And if they do, that in itself tells you something.
@findmypast @SeekingSurnames 2 tips. As others have mentioned: Original documents. Example: I found notes in Griffiths Valuation in the Originals @PRONI_DFC that do not exist in any transcription. Bonus pro tip: never leave a sibling unresearched.
@findmypast @SeekingSurnames Be tenacious. Employ tenacity to spot the incongruous, to understand resources, to question conclusions, to focus without drifting to another research problem, to pause before accepting first answer, to strategise several research methods and put them into action one-by-one.
#CheshireFamHist @FHSofCheshire's #FridayRoundUp @findmypast have added over 20k new records Surrey Prerogative Court Will Abstracts Lancashire Wills/Probate Over 4000 entries from Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Link to blog for details👉findmypast.co.uk/blog/new/prero…
@findmypast 'Be Deliberate' - because deliberate choices require time and thought before you put them into action. Makes for good #CriticalThinking and sound decisions in our research!
@findmypast Slow down. Read slowly and thoroughly. Build your tree slowly. Think things through carefully. Try to disprove facts as well as proving them - just because it fits doesn’t mean it’s correct.
The six books that make up the 2024 @WomensPrize for non-fiction shortlist sponsored by @findmypast have been revealed! Each of the six books weave a fascinating narrative that inspires, informs and ignites its reader. All titles are in stock with Southend Libraries.
Tell us a crazy historical fact about your hometown 😅 And if you've ever thought about doing a one place study for your town, look no further 👉 bit.ly/458sYmC
@findmypast Go to the source - do not pass Go and do not stop to collect £200!
@findmypast When reading censuses, read the entire page your ancestors appear on. Go back and forward several pages as well. You may find other members of the family living nearby. This is how I discovered the first name of my 3x great grandfather's stepfather.
