UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Ancestry just reminded me that I sent myself a PM 6 days ago and wanted to know if I was ready to reply.

I sometimes talk to myself, it's true, but I don't send myself PMs.

Judy G Russell covers the topic for those of us on this side of the pond.
I'm getting ready to do my final talk of 2025. I'm live online at 18.30 with a family history webinar for Family Tree Magazine.

I'll be talking about the importance of getting to know the legislation behind the records that we use...

On this day in 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. For 381 days people boycotted the buses. They walked, carpooled and organized every single day until segregation cracked. Nothing will change today without that same resolve. Freedom isn’t granted, it's taken one step at a time. #Resist
