History

 Covid is now gone...we now have a positively negative Pirate!!

We are both slowly decluttering and getting the house tidier..but every time you attack a new corner, it looks a mess again, even if temporarily!!


For light relief I am doing a session on a certain genealogy website.

I am making good progress, but one thing that doesn't help is the inaccurate transcribing...What appear to be different versions of a name are simply where the wrong letters have been put on the website...when you look at the actual document, it is as it should be....Possee....but we have Posce, Pose, Posse, Possee.....

I am just looking at Jemima Pott...or is it Potts....Jemmima or Jemma? With the latter the original writer has inserted an i in the correct place...but on the website?..Jemma.


I am looking forward to meeting more of both Possee's and Epps on our upcoming visit...filling a few more gaps. Hopefully!!
