For those that want to easily find the #FamilyHistory writing prompts I’m sharing. I can see creating #Genealogy and #History feeds could get addictive. I do love a list!

It's Publication [email protected] & Prof Olive Anderson’s new book Deserted Wives & Economic Divorce is out now @hartpublishing.bsky.social 🥳
Read the Intro for free tinyurl.com/bdfe8u9d & check out our latest blog post tinyurl.com/4tz2wb34 🌳🧬📚🗃️ #19thC #history #legalhistory #divorce
The image shows six copies of the book 'Deserted Wives and Economic Divorce in 19th-Century England and Wales: For Wives Alone' by Jennifer Aston and Olive Anderson. The book is a dark blue with white text. Half of the front cover is taken up by a pencil drawn image of a well dressed Victorian woman speaking before the Divorce Court. All the other seven people in the image are men. One book faces the camera to show the front cover and the other five are stood upright, showing the spine of the book.

Today’s #FamilyHistory writing prompt is “coffee and tea”. Ideas / examples:
☕️ someone who was the pot calling the kettle black
☕️ tea drinking, traditions and history
☕️ times you’ve used coffee to stay awake late doing #Genealogy
☕️ spilling the T on secrets
