Found granddad's Catholic baptism

Just had another look for granddad's baptism in the Leeds Catholic registers on FindMyPast. He is there! Right names for him, dad and mum, also correct birthdate. Recorded under Moor not Moore, which is why I missed him initially. So chuffed with this! I will tell my auntie (his daughter), and also cousins in Ireland (descendants of his Dublin aunts). So that's him in there, as well as all his full siblings.

Hugo Awards 2024

Among the ongoing furore re the 2023 Hugo Awards I've started entering my nominations for the 2024 awards. Though am very behind with eg movie viewing and recent novel reading. But have multiple things to nominate already. I am an attending (but probably not going in person) Glasgow Worldcon member.
