FAMILY TREE- I WONDER IF THE PRODUCERS OF HOUSE OF DRAGONS AND GAME OF THRONES HAVE STAFF GENEALOGISTS?
There is a lot to keep track of between these shows and others on how people are related. Who is trying to kill a cousin, sibling, uncle or aunt. Then there was King Geoffrey the child of siblings, now that's a very thin family tree.

GENEALOGIST FOR HIRE KING FREDERICK III OF DENMARK AND OTHER SCANDINAVIAN FASHION SURPRISES
I came across the story of an early Scandinavian naval crew aboard the Swedish Man-of-War Kronan. The forces were entirely male, and no women were allowed on board ships engaged in warfare. As a result, traditional women's chores were performed by men who decked themselves out with feminine articles such as handbags and purses made of embroidered silken material with braided tassels, patterned silk ribbons, and silk rosettes, silk yarn, and sewing cases. Such articles were just as common as muskets and guns at the site of the...

GENEALOGY- IN CASE YOU EVER WANT TO BE A TRAINRIDER HERE ARE SOME TIPS!
While on a recent trip up to the border of Montana and Idaho, I met a “trainrider”. He and three of his train riding buddies now worked at a mountain café. He shared tales that reminded me of my grandfather’s stories of riding the rails in the 1930s during the depression. Of course, back then, they were called hobos. Here is some insight into the early “trainriders.”
The hobo is familiar as a character from kitsch art and silent film and feels like a romantic caricature today. But...

ANCESTRY TREE! THE FIRST BIG CASE FOR THE SECRET SERVICE INVOLVED THE GERMAN NAVY LANDING 85,000 TROOPS IN NEW JERSEY TO SURROUND NEW YORK CITY
During World War I, President Woodrow Wilson directed the Secretary of the Treasury to have the Secret Service investigate possible espionage inside the United States. He wanted the Service to uncover and disrupt a German sabotage network that was believed to be plotting against France, England, and the United States. As a result, an 11-man counter-espionage unit was established in New York City. Their most publicized investigation concerned the activities of Dr. Heinrich Albert and his...

FINDING YOUR FAMILY TREE- NOW HERE IS HOW YOU DECORATE!
I came across this Sultan Family Tree with Osman I- Abdulhamid I (27 Ottoman emperors) at Gripsholms Castle in Mariefred, Sweden. Not where you expect to discover such an item necessarily. And speaking of family trees, I came across the story below
FINDING YOUR FAMILY TREE - DAD, QUIT STARING AT MY FIANCE!

ANCESTORS THAT DON'T LOOK A DAY OVER 112!
World's Oldest Living Man Is Nearly 113, Has 41 Grandchildren and Enjoys a Popular Drink 'Every Day'
This Venezuelan man is almost 113 years young!
Juan Vicente Pérez Mora, who is 112 years and 355 days old as of Tuesday, was just named the oldest living man by Guinness World Records.

"The whole family is very grateful," she added.
The supercentenarian, who is the ninth of 10 children,...

OBSERVATIONS ON ABORTION FROM THE 1700'S
With the recent controversy surrounding Roe vs. Wade, I thought I would see what our ancestors debated in earlier newspaper articles (remember, back then, “s” was written as “f”) in regard to abortion. Instead, I found the article above that argued that requiring a marriage license with a 30-day parish residency requirement would result in more abortions.
I also found an article that earlier in the story mentions “the people west of Hudson’s Bay” (that also says the same custom in Formosa, which is present-day Taiwan). The article discusses their traditions related to induced abortion, but...

IT'S NOT EASY TO BE HUGH!
While searching for ancestors, I discovered that HUGH V of Lusignan my 33rd Great Grandfather married Almodis (her tomb at right) who was born about 1020 and was famous for her marriage career. They married about 1038 and they divorced due to consanguinity (meaning that they were close cousins of some sort).
She later, with HUGH V's assistance, married Count Pons of Toulouse in 1040. Almodis was still Pons' wife in April 1053, when she was abducted by Count Ramon Berenguer I of Barcelona.
Ramon kidnapped her from Narbonne with the aid of a fleet sent north...
