Glädjen med en välordnad och lättläst bouppteckning från 1748. De flesta är inte det.
The joy of a well organized and easy to read probate inventory from 1748. Most aren't.

Back to my 18th century probate inventories.

I call this one: Sunny morning, still in my nightie .
Woke up earlier than planned, so now I have time to read some 18th century probate inventories, and put their contents in excel before I go to my pool physio therapy.

The unexpected path to historical research: While covering Spanish Camp for a local newspaper in 1997, I learned about Dorothy Day's connection to Tottenville.

While researching Tottenville, I discovered Benjamin Franklin Joline's 1950 self-published history beginning in 1668. Suddenly the street names I knew became real historical figures!

📚 Have you discovered 17th Century Tottenville History Comes Alive? My book explores this small Staten Island community within the context of NY and US history.

This isn't academic dry text, but a living history that connects street names to the families who built the community. #LocalHistory #NewYorkHistory #StatenIsland #TottenvilleHistory #HistoricalResearch #IndiePublishing

"When one of Greg’s students ... decided to make himself a replica of the armor that Alexander the Great is shown wearing on the famous “Alexander Mosaic” from Pompeii, none of us realized that the next six years of our lives would be dominated by the quest to understand and evaluate that armor."
