I'm am giving (and continue) to give my all into @Project_Infant to turn it into a beacon for people wanting to:
a) learn more about the homes and their backstory
b) learn more about those who died

But recently I've felt vexed. Which is why I'm adding another small thing to NLB.
For those who aren't adopted, we are lucky as we can easily trace our family back to goodness knows when, you have to admit that.

But I want to use my skills to help those adopted through mother and baby homes, I want to help them trace their birth families.
So, if you were born in a mother and baby home and would like help finding your birth ancestral roots, I'd love to help. I don't charge whatsoever for this research. This is my way of giving back and helping survivors find who their ancestors are.
If I can help, please DM me on Twitter or contact me here: projectinfant.ie/contact-me/

It is the least I can do.

With yet more restrictions being imposed on how you can use Twitter, here are two ways you can still keep up to date with the #Genealogy community on Twitter.

A thread...
The first way (and this is not intended to be self-promotion) is my Twitter community. All sorts of genealogy blog posts, and dilemmas are here. I will work on bringing discussions into this as well. To join, go here: twitter.com/i/communities/…
Way number two (and the majority of this thread) will be using Twitter lists. They are not my favourite, but with the feeds being loopy - this might be the primary way I see things now.

To find the lists feature, if you're on your PC, see picture one, phone - picture two. Profile view on Twitter Web...Twitter for iPhone app with...

Hey #Genealogy Twitter, don't scroll past this yet!
So as time progresses, I've seen people wondering if Twitter does go down in a ball of fire or people leave, where to go?

One of these suggestions was Mastodon.
While it's been described as not an alternative to Twitter, it's very similar to how it operates. You can respond, boost (retweet) and favourite (like) tweets and even see all the hustle and bustle of Twitter.

There are also some improvements to Mastodon that aren't on Twitter.
One of these things is the character count in a post. You can have 500 characters in a post on M compared to 280 characters on T. Another thing is there are no ads or algorithm-suggested/popular tweets, who you follow is all that will appear in your timeline unless...

Saw this tweet from @SBkcrn, who was the person who was developing the Twitter Communities feature.

EM has layed off 7,500 employees today. (Source: amp.theguardian.com/technology/202…)

It’s speculated that 50% of all employees would be laid off.

But that’s not even the worst part…
This tweet had gained a bit of traction, some people were sympathetic with Simon that this has happened (and especially in this way) and the BILE that others quote tweeted Simon’s tweet with is horrendous.

Guess any sort of human interaction has just gone out the window then?
But if there’s one thing that @SBkcrn has done is create and develop a wonderful feature for Twitter for its diverse communities to interact with one another.

And for that I’m grateful to him for allowing me access to the feature and create the Genealogy Twitter community.

And I shall! Second tech tip of the day, who would’ve thought it! So #genealogy folks who have either an iPhone or iPad, this is for you. (Android folks, stay tuned - I may have a similar way)

Here’s how you can get TweetDeck as an app.
Firstly, what you’ll want to do is open up TweetDeck on Safari on your device (it has to be Safari, from what I’ve tried) and make sure you sign into your account. Once you’ve done that, and your TweetDeck has appeared. Hit the share button (box with an up arrow - as shown) Tweetdeck dashboard with share options button highlighted wi
Once you’ve done that, scroll down the options and select “Add to Home Screen”. Tweetdeck dashboard with share options menu open.

Here you go, @nellstra (and anyone on Twitter wanting to know how) - here's how you make a Twitter moment.

A thread.
First things first, this can only be done on the web version of Twitter. It can't be done on a Twitter app. So when you open up Twitter, on the menu on the left hand side, click 'More'. View of Twitter timeline with button on menu highlighted in
Secondly, on the many options that'll appear, click 'Moments'. View of Twitter timeline with button on menu highlighted in

Really thought provoking thread about grief from @ScientistSoph and how we should normalise talking about grief and one thing I’d also like to raise is that grief affects people in different ways and different durations.

My take is…
Back in January 2017, my inspiration for starting my genealogy journey Padraig - my grand uncle died at the age of 85. I never met him many times but while I was there at the funeral home, there was one person who I didn’t see there - my grandfather. Turns out he wasn’t doing…
…too well and was dealing with a number of health issues which young, naive 13 year old me thought he would recover from. Young, naive old me didn’t think that he would lose his grandfather in less than 5 months that year. Thinking back, I can remember…
