NullRef@Nordrassil had a good six-year run, but the guild is now dead. If you are still an active player, or are returning after a long break, I regret to tell you that you should look to find a new guild before the next expansion. I am gradually gkicking toons based on last log…
I stumbled upon a serious flaw with my article about Andrew and Anna Chew’s children, and updated the article accordingly. In David and Nancy McBride’s Marriage Records of Highland County, Ohio (1805-1880), I discovered the source of the commonly listed 20 March 1820 marriage date. Much to my surprise, Joseph’s…
I published an article digging into the immediate ancestry of Mary Caldwell Chew, wife of James Chew (~1740-1783). She was the daughter of Andrew and Jane Caldwell of Berkeley County, West Virginia based on the will of her brother, Andrew Caldwell Jr., and that of her father, Andrew Caldwell Sr., all…
I published a first effort at mapping out documentary evidence tying Andrew and Anna Chew to their commonly listed children. Summary Andrew Chew left behind very few documentary records of his existence. Many family researchers, including myself, list basic facts about his life, including his birth between 1770 and 1773…
I finished transcribing Mabel Vinson Cage’s memoir, and published the lot. Of course, very little of it relates to my daughter’s family–really just chapter 2–but maybe someone else will appreciate it.
I finished transcribing Laura A. Hawn Patterson’s 1906 memoir about her trip across the plains to Oregon that she took with her parents in 1843 when she was just eight years old.
I finished transcribing and posted Levia Hawn Patterson’s 1930 memoir relating stories told to her about her parents’ journey by stage coach across the plains to Oregon in 1843, and about her life growing up in the Oregon territory. I did my best to transcribe it exactly as she wrote…
I finished transcribing my grandmother’s brief memoir about what it was like growing up in Franklin, a small town of maybe 500 in Minnesota.
I’ve been trying to explain to people how close you can get to the critters on the Galapagos, and I realize, it just doesn’t… you can’t explain. You can never get this close. We could’ve gotten closer to these Nazca Boobies (or any of the critters). Only reason we kept…
30-JAN-11: Isla San Cristobal It was raining when we woke this morning. First time on the cruise. Not a heavy rain, but regular enough to get you wet quickly. The boat ride in to the ferry was enough to get our bags and clothes wet. The ramp from the dock…
