Let me get this straight: American service members are dying to free people halfway around the world while we’re simultaneously filling concentration camps with immigrants who came here to be free.

Do I have that right?

Do you use old or new family photos to tell your family history? Are some of them professional or studio photos?

Quote of the day…

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search. But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

I'm starting a new series at my Nutfield Genealogy blog, where I will feature a post on each of my many patriot ancestors who fought or contributed to the American Revolution.

Here is a blog post about a newclipping that reported a distant cousin, serving on board Old Ironsides (USS Constitution) killed in action during the War of 1812. My family tree has many connections to this one ship, including my 3x great grandfather whose Civil War regiment "rescued" Old Ironsides from Annapolis during the Civil War. https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2012/10/seaman-stephen-webb-war-of-1812.html

It's Groundhog Day!

There were endless news reports during the last snow storm, and 24 hour coverage on TV Sunday. My 90 year old mother said "You would think they never saw snow before!"

History moment for today.... "Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes." "Families are torn apart; men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." Anne Frank, 1943

Boston's Great Molasses Flood was a disaster that killed dozens and left terrifying memories.

It’s #caturday Saturday! Shadow is constantly on my lap now that I’m home from babysitting my granddaughter all week. And she slept on my head the last two nights.
