#Genealogy hat on this morning as the #1921ScotlandCensus has been released.
My favourite find has been the little 'G+E' in the 'Gaelic or English' column for my 76-year-old 2x great-grandmother. Not new information, as I already knew she was a Gaelic speaker, but lovely to see the evidence for that little connection to history.
Always sad that social conditions meant she and her husband (both native Gaelic speakers from the Highlands) didn't teach it to their children in Edinburgh. My granny (their granddaughter) tried to teach herself at one point, but never got very far. A cultural line broken.
