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.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO
Apparently, in 1921, Americans who were primarily descendants of the Europeans were asserting their superiority over them. Remember that we recently came through World War I and the Spanish flu epidemic, and we're entering the roaring 20's.

AMERICANS HAVING HARD FEELINGS AGAINST THOSE WHO HAVE UNPOPULAR HERITAGE IS NOT NEW
The article on the very top was recently shared on a historical forum. I was surprised to see my great grandfather as a signee. I suspect many of our ancestors had hard feelings against those who descended from countries we were fighting in wars.

Ancestry Explained
Good morning preservers of the family legacy,
A lot of times folks ask us how to preserve their family heirlooms. Of course, our first advice is to capture a digital record of the heirloom and let’s then put that picture into Your Dancestors ancestry book, so you have it stored somewhere else. Here’s some advice from an insurance company:

Some updates on the use of DNA to solve crimes:
Police were cracking cold cases with a DNA website. Then the fine print changed.
“There are cases that won’t get solved or will take longer to solve,” a Florida law enforcement official said.
