LEGACY A NEW HANGOUT FOR GENEALOGISTS?
A million bodies are buried here. So now It’s becoming a park.
Hart Island, a potter’s field where part of New York City's legacy is that they have buried its unclaimed dead for over a century, will finally accept visitors this year.
Hart Island is located at the western end of Long Island Sound, in the northeastern Bronx in New York City. Measuring approximately 1 mile long by 0.33 miles (0.53 km) wide, Hart Island is part of the Pelham Islands archipelago east of City Island.
The island has been used as a:

Genealogist --HOW EARLY MODERN EUROPEANS VIEWED PREGNANCY AND THE WOMB-- Genealogist
When the womb began to appear in printed images during the 16th century, it was understood through analogy: a garden, uroscopy flask, or microcosm of the universe. Rebecca Whiteley explores early modern birth figures, which picture the foetus in utero, and discovers an iconic form imbued with multiple kinds of knowledge: from midwifery know-how to alchemical secrets, astrological systems to new anatomical findings.

HERITAGE THE ARTICLE ABOVE SOUNDS LIKE A TESLA AD
If only Elon had hired Harry's wife!
However, that's an ad for 1926 Jewett-Six.
The Jewett was an automobile built in Detroit, Michigan by the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company from March 1922 through December 1926. The Jewett was named after Harry M. Jewett, president of Paige-Detroit.
Embedded in the dashboard of every Jewett was an amulet, visible on the passenger side as a dash-plate. Harry's wife Mary was something of a spiritualist, and these amulets were purported to have mystical power that protected the occupants. HERITAGE

GENEALOGY WE HAD A TEN PERSON SUPREME COURT
Genealogy When Lincoln became president in 1861, seven Southern states had already seceded from the Union, yet half of the Supreme Court justices were Southerners, including Chief Justice Roger B. Taney of Maryland. One other Southern member had died in 1860, without replacement. All were Democratic appointees.
The Court was “the last stronghold of Southern power,” according to one Northern editor. Five sitting justices were among the court’s 7-2 majority in the racist 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford ruling, in which Taney wrote that Black people were “so far inferior that they had no...

ANCESTRY NATURAL GAS DOES NOT STINK COMING OUT OF THE GROUND. WHY DOES IT STINK?
Natural gas stinks because Mercaptan is added to the gas. It is a colorless gas with a distinctively putrid smell. It is a natural substance found in the blood, brain, and feces of animals (including humans) and plant tissues. It also occurs naturally in certain foods, such as nuts and cheese. It is one of the chemical compounds responsible for bad breath and the smell of flatus.
The reason why is in the headline below. The New London, TX school was heated with odorless natural gas in...

FAMILY SANTA COMES DOWN THE CHIMNEY ON NEW YEAR'S EVE?
You can see in the pictures above that in the 1800's Santa was not commonly portrayed as a plump jolly guy. The guy in the article on top has a pipe, but no beard. Possibly the four Santa Claus' above us were retired Civil War generals?
You can see the old articles about New Year's Eve as being when cookies were laid out and Santa went down the chimney on New Year's Eve. Apparently, in other nations, but also America that used to be quite common. Find more information at the link...

ANCESTORS- HENRY LOWRY THE ROBIN HOOD OF ROBESON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
The Confederate government used conscription to force many locals to work on the construction of various forts around the Cape Fear River area for very little pay. Several Lowry cousins, excluded from military service because they were free men of color, had been conscripted to help build Fort Fisher. The Lowry Gang was initially started to aid those hiding from conscription. Other residents resorted to "lying out" (hiding in the region's swamps) to avoid being rounded up by the Confederate Home Guard and forced to work for low wages. As...

GENEALOGIST FOR HIRE- THE HAPPIEST AND LEAST HAPPY STATES IN AMERICA!
I get Utah, being the happiest state for the reasons they mentioned above. Vermont is the chill part of the Northeast. Wisconsin, Iowa, and Nebraska have those good old-fashioned midwestern values. Colorado and Wyoming have the "outdoorsyness" of Utah.
In the 60s you have more outdoorsy western states like Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Idaho, and Montana along with brightly-lit Nevada. More midwestern places like North Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota. Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, and North Carolina bring the mid-eastern states into the rankings, along with New York the cultural icon.
