A name with proper medieval roots. šŸ‘£āœØ

This week’s spotlight is shining on Family Trees Unlocked šŸ’œ

They shared this fascinating photograph from 1914 of women working in a glass factory cutting shop, near Birmingham, England.

The image offers a rare glimpse into early 20th-century industrial life.

It highlights the skilled and hard labour these women carried out at a time when factory work was demanding, often hazardous, and massively reliant on female workers.
