Fantastic to speak re 'Britons on the move' on a panel @BSECS w/ @EllisMBell this am. SO many links between our papers & projects. Shame @BenLTJackson bumped onto a diff panel due to schedule probs but great to still hear his paper. Thanks to the organisers, our chair & audience.
What an amazing database!

That’s a wrap! Thank you to everyone who came to our #FamilyArchivesConference! It has been the most brilliant, exhilarating few days and it was a delight to meet colleagues from across the world. Thanks too to @LeverhulmeTrust whose generous support made this event possible.
@SocialBodiesUoB @ImogenPeck2 @kawulf Thanks for attending my paper! Great to catch up on the Social Bodies project earlier!
@SocialBodiesUoB I am only about five or six letters not the search and have already found some extremely promising material 😊👍
