HIRE A GENEALOGIST- QUEEN ELIZABETH NOT ONLY HAD LONG LINES WAITING TO SEE HER AT REST BUT ALSO WHEN SHE WAS A BABY
Genealogists say the picture above is with her Grandmother Mary of Teck (Victoria Mary Augusta Louise Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes; 26 May 1867 – 24 March 1953) was Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Empress of India, from 6 May 1910 until 29 January 1936 as the wife of King-Emperor George V.
Genealogists say that she was born and raised in the United Kingdom, Mary was the daughter of Francis, Duke of Teck, a German nobleman, and Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, a granddaughter of King George III and a minor member of the British royal family. She was informally known as “May”, after the month of her birth.
Genealogists say that Mary died on March 24, 1953, in her sleep at the age of 85, ten weeks before her granddaughter’s coronation. She had let it be known that should she die, the coronation should not be postponed.

Genealogists want to make sure that royals went quite a ways to show off their family trees.
In these examples, you have trees showing individual portraits on the wall, the couples sitting on their thrones,l, hanging as draperies, or sitting on their thrones with their shields displayed in front of them.
HIRE A GENEALOGIST- WHILE DRIVING ACROSS THE SOUTH, MY WIFE ASKED “WHERE DID THE NAME DIXIE COME FROM?”
Oddly, the most commonly accepted story is that Dixie came from the Mason-Dixon Line, as the traditional south and slavery were initially restricted below the Mason-Dixon line.
It was not as though Mason was a northerner and Dixon was a southerner.
They were both Englishmen and were sent by the British Crown to settle an old dispute.
The line was surveyed between 1763 and 1767 by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon in the resolution of a border dispute involving Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware in Colonial America. The dispute had its origins almost a century earlier in the somewhat confusing proprietary grants by King Charles I to Lord Baltimore (Maryland) and by King Charles II to William Penn (Pennsylvania and Delaware).

Genealogists says that a typical week in the 1836 Philadelphia Coroner’s Office.
Genealogists tend to think of the good old days as being peaceful and with less craziness. As you can read there was plenty of mayhem back in the day.
Genealogists report that there were only 80,000 people in Philadelphia at the time.
Genealogists say that Andrew Jackson was the U.S. President. The Treaty of Echota below was negotiated and ratified.
HIRE A GENEALOGIST- WE MIGHT SOON HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CHEROKEE NATION IN CONGRESS AS A DELEGATE IN THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Genealogists share that the Treaty of New Echota was a treaty signed on December 29, 1835, in New Echota, Georgia, by officials of the United States government and representatives of a minority Cherokee political faction, the Treaty Party.
Genealogists say that the treaty established terms for the Cherokee Nation to cede its territory in the southeast and move west to the Indian Territory. Although the treaty was not approved by the Cherokee National Council nor signed by Principal Chief John Ross (pictured), it was amended and ratified in March 1836 and became the legal basis for the forcible removal known as the Trail of Tears.
Genealogists report that in 2019, Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. cited a provision of the treaty that states that the Cherokee “shall be entitled to a delegate in the House of Representatives of the United States whenever Congress shall make provision for the same,” in announcing that he intended to appoint, for the first time, a Congressional delegate from the Cherokee Nation. Pending a decision of the Cherokee National Council, Hoskin said he would nominate Kimberly Teehee, a member of the Cherokee Nation who formerly served as a policy advisor in the administration of President Barack Obama, to the post.
HIRE A GENEALOGIST- I PREFER FOR THE PRESIDENT TO BE IN AN AIRPLANE NAMED SACRED COW VS. GUESS WHERE?
Genealogists say Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first president to fly in an aircraft while in office. The first aircraft obtained specifically for presidential travel was a Douglas Dolphin amphibian delivered in 1933 which was designated RD-2 by the US Navy and based at the naval base at Anacostia D.C. The Dolphin was modified with luxury upholstery for four passengers and a small separate sleeping compartment. The aircraft remained in service as a presidential transport from 1933 until 1939.
Genealogists say There are no reports, however, on whether the president actually flew in the aircraft. During World War II, Roosevelt traveled on the Dixie Clipper, a Pan Am-crewed Boeing 314 flying boat to the 1943 Casablanca Conference in Morocco, a flight that covered 5,500 miles (8,890 km) in three legs. The threat from the German submarines throughout the Battle of the Atlantic made air travel the preferred method of VIP transatlantic transportation.
Genealogists were concerned about relying upon commercial airlines to transport the president, officials of the United States Army Air Forces, the predecessor to the US Air Force, ordered the conversion of a military aircraft to accommodate the special needs of the commander-in-chief. The first dedicated aircraft proposed for presidential use was a C-87A VIP transport aircraft. This aircraft, number 41-24159, was modified in 1943 for use as a presidential VIP transport, the Guess Where II, intended to carry President Franklin D. Roosevelt on international trips. Had it been accepted, it would have been the first aircraft to be used in presidential service. However, after a review of the C-87’s highly controversial safety record in service, the Secret Service flatly refused to approve the Guess Where II for presidential carriage. As the C-87 was a derivative of the Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber, it presented strong offensive impressions to enemy fighter aircraft as well as foreign destinations visited, an issue not present with airplanes that were used purely for transport. The Guess Where II was used to transport senior members of the Roosevelt administration on various trips. In March 1944, it transported Eleanor Roosevelt on a goodwill tour of several Latin American countries. The C-87 was scrapped in 1945.
Genealogists report the Secret Service subsequently reconfigured a Douglas C-54 Skymaster for presidential transport duty. The VC-54C aircraft, nicknamed the Sacred Cow, included a sleeping area, radiotelephone, and retractable battery-powered elevator to lift Roosevelt in his wheelchair. As modified, the VC-54C was used by President Roosevelt only once before his death, on his trip to the Yalta Conference in February 1945.
