Christmas Eve 2024

Fifteen centimetres of snow. That’s what I’d shovelled, so the walk to the mailbox, even in the bright sunshine with neighbours “Merry Christmasing,” felt like a bit of a trek. And for what? Bills. Bloody bills. The Canada Post strike meant no Christmas cards this year. But it got me thinking.

The thing about Christmas cards is they don’t go off. They’re not like milk or bread. It’s not about getting them on the 25th; it’s about what they are. It’s the memories, the feeling you get when you see a familiar scrawl. They’re little bits of connection, little time capsules of someone’s thoughts and well wishes.

Even the cards from people who aren’t around anymore are a reminder that they’re still part of our life story. It’s not the paper or the glitter; it’s the feeling, the enduring warmth they keep alive. That’s why my Christmas decorations this year include cards from years gone by.

Season’s Greetings
As in previous years, I mostly take a break during the holidays, but not without having prepared daily Yuletide R&R items for the remainder of 2024.

After the first post on Canada’s Anglo-Celtic Connections, eighteen years of blogging have passed. In the past year, there has been one post or more every day. I don’t intend to maintain that pace in 2025.

I wish everyone joy, peaceful moments, and good memories this season. See you in the New Year.

What’s changed in 40 years

You can read the first Family Tree Magazine (UK) issue from Nov-Dec 1984 here. It included an article, “How to Trace Your Family Tree.” How things have changed!

1. Digital Archives and Search Capabilities
The article describes research at locations like St. Catherine’s House in London, where researchers kept fit by lifting large red, black and green books to a desk for searching. Today, most records are digitized and searchable. Advanced online platforms provide powerful search engines, keyword filters, and algorithmic matching. There’s instant access to millions of historical documents.
2. DNA Testing
This article does not mention genetic genealogy, which has revolutionized family history research in the past two decades. DNA matching allows people to identify genetic relatives, confirm family connections, and trace ancestral origins in ways impossible 40 years ago.
3. Global Interconnectivity
The article suggests hiring local researchers or travelling to different locations to access records. Modern genealogists collaborate internationally through online forums, social media groups, and genealogy websites. Resources from different countries are increasingly digitized and shared across borders. However, visiting is still often required, and a pleasure, to go in-depth
4. Computer-Based Organization
The author recommends a “loose-leaf folder” for organizing family history information. Today, genealogists use specialized software, cloud-based platforms, and complex family tree management tools that allow for instant updates, linking of sources, and sophisticated data management.
5. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Modern genealogy research increasingly employs AI technologies to help researchers. These include automated record matching, predictive ancestor suggestions, handwriting recognition for old documents, and advanced algorithms that can suggest potential family connections based on complex data analysis. Some capabilities unimaginable when the article was written remained so even a couple of years ago.

TheGenealogist adds City of London Cemetery records

Searchable records for the City of London Cemetery, comprising 492,465 burials, are now available on TheGenealogist.  There’s access to comprehensive information from 1856, including:

● Full name of the deceased
● Precise cemetery plot location
● Occupation
● Date of burial
● Age at time of death
● District of death registration
● Residential address.

The 200-acre cemetery is located in Manor Park in East London.

If you know the approximate date of burial, there’s free access to images of the register books at https://col-burialregisters.uk/

The City of London Cemetery is not to be confused with the nearby Manor Park Cemetery and Crematorium (records available at deceasedonline). See the area map here.
