I never win ANYTHING, but last week, I won a copy of Tips and Tricks for Deciphering German Handwriting. My review? I give it 5-out-of-5 stars: it’s great for the beginning genealogist who’s just starting out with German records and for experienced researchers who want to brush up on their translating skills.

This week’s #52ancestors is “At the Library,” so here’s a throwback to my trip to Dublin two summers ago. 🍀 My favorite stop was Trinity College Library, where I saw the Book of Kells and the Brian Boru Harp. Take a tour yourself! #linkinbio >> @applegategenealogy

Celestia means “heavenly,” and my great-great-grandmother certainly lived up to the name. This #52Ancestors unusual name features on the blog this week! #linkinbio >> @applegategenealogy

Churches were at the center of my Bluhm ancestors' story, but the churches, themselves, are the focus of this one. More church photos on the blog! #linkinbio >> @applegategenealogy

Wonderful photo of young ladies out and about! I think we tend to forget the sense of freedom that riding a bicycle gave people in the past. In the case of women, it took grace and coordination to ride a bike in long skirts.

Absolutely! And those hats and heels and corsets, too—I can’t imagine! Katharine’s brothers made bicycles, and she had access to a lot more freedom than many women did.

What year do you think the photo is from? I have a picture of some bicycles on my blog and was wondering what year. It is a fun photo.

Isn’t it great? It was taken sometime between 1893 and 1898 when Katharine was at college–I don’t know which school year, unfortunately.

It is neat they are related. If I understood that correctly?

Do you mean the women in the photo? They’re all college friends (Katharine only had brothers!), but I’m related to Katharine. She’s the woman standing second from the right.
