I have plenty of genealogy to share, but don't want to be constrained by having to blog weekly, so my goal in 2026 is to share one story each month, using one of the themes from Amy Johnson Crow's 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks. This week's theme is A Record That Adds Color.
I have previously written about my grandfather's older sister at Great Aunt Adelia and More on Great Aunt Adelia. Her 1918 passport application reported that she wished to be able to visit Spain, France and Italy.
Census records are one of the cornerstones of genealogy research. Imagine my surprise when a hint popped up last year for a 1921 England census record for Adelia Pyle living at 12 Oakley Crescent in Chelsea, London, England.
