#OnePlaceStudies - I finished this awhile ago, its a graph showing birth, marriage and death numbers. (Blue - Marriage, Green - Birth and Purple - Death)

I haven't had much time to put into it but I hope I will in the summer. What has everyone else been up to?

Tracy and Holly share tetanus shot stories and discuss getting boosters. They then discuss the egos of European explorers in Africa.

My morning project. Eventually I will have the chart from 1803-1878 (the range at I have all three records). The two notable death spikes are in 1806 (smallpox) and 1812 (Tuberculosis). #OnePlaceStudy

I wasn't looking for this one! on 6 Nov 1819 Thecla and Magdalena Dziedzic (sisters) got marred in Dzwonowa.

Not per se a challenge but I’m indexing records from my OPS, and put more data into my RM file.
After two weeks squirrelled away in my woodland hideaway writing, normal Monday service is now resumed.

This week I have marking and working on the detail for my complicated case study for my book.

What #FamilyHistory challenges are you working on this week?

In 1911, Nesen Bader was held at Ellis Island to determine if he’d be a drain on US resources (“LPC”). If so, he’d be deported. Luckily, he got to stay & later had a child: Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
Don’t shut immigrants out for not seeing the good they bring right away.

Question for Irish genealogist and historians, I was just reading an account of my 3rd great grandma who was a survivor of the Famine and she believed in Fairies, I’m wondering how common was such a belief for people of her era, particularly those near Cork.

Would anyone know what language this is in? It’s not in Dutch! #Genealogy
