GENEALOGY- MORE ABOUT DARIEN- GEORGIA THAT IS, AND THE SCOTSMEN'S ATTEMPTS TO PROHIBIT SLAVERY, AND LETTING DAUGHTERS INHERIT LAND

ANCESTORS- DARIEN GAP HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS LATELY
We all know Teddy Roosevelt led the building of the Panama Canal. However, I bet you didn't know that his Great-Great Grandfather had been there 200 years earlier as part of the Darien Scheme. Teddy may have wondered where are my ancestors from?
The Darien scheme was an unsuccessful attempt, backed largely by investors of the Kingdom of Scotland, to gain wealth and influence by establishing New Caledonia, a colony in the Darién Gap on the Isthmus of Panama, in the late 1690s. The plan was for the colony, located on the Gulf...

GENEALOGY IS FUN- YOU CAN HELP WITH THE INVESTIGATION OF THE JFK ASSASSINATION
President John F. Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1963. Nearly 30 years after his death, Congress enacted the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. The Act mandated that all assassination-related material be housed in a single collection in the National Archives and Records Administration.
The resulting Collection consists of more than 5 million pages of assassination-related records, photographs, motion pictures, sound recordings and artifacts (approximately 2,000 cubic feet of records).
Most of the records from the JFK Assassination Records Collection are open for research, and...

FAMILY HISTORY- THE INTER-CONTINENTAL TRAIN FROM PARIS TO NEW YORK WILL FINALLY PUT FORT NELSON ON THE MAP!
Snowpiercer is a fictional train, its 1,001 cars carrying humanity’s last survivors as it endlessly loops a frozen Earth. Shown on this map, the InterContinental Railway (ICR for short) doesn’t quite go all the way around — but then again, it isn’t entirely as fictional.
The Snowpiercer movie and series were based on Le Transperceneige, a French graphic novel from 1982. On the other hand, the ICR is being proposed by engineers and entrepreneurs who believe it can and should become a reality.

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...
