In 1911, Nesen Bader was held at Ellis Island to determine if he’d be a drain on US resources (“LPC”). If so, he’d be deported. Luckily, he got to stay & later had a child: Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Don’t shut immigrants out for not seeing the good they bring right away. #genealogy #genhour #immigration

Question for Irish genealogist and historians, I was just reading an account of my 3rd great grandma who was a survivor of the Famine and she believed in Fairies, I’m wondering how common was such a belief for people of her era, particularly those near Cork.

Just finished putting in all the Pre-1800 records into my OPS tree, currently I have 391 people, which isn’t too bad! Only 200 years to go! #Genealogy #OnePlaceStudy

I just was putting in marriages for my #OnePlaceStudy and I realized I had misread a 13 for an 18 (its clear the priest tried to change it) But I actually found the girls baptism and she was 12 and 11 months when she was married to a 25 year old man. Speechless... Its so hard to imagine

So it's just Alaska and Wyoming (they always start with states with small populations so they can claim more quickly), but still cool to see Korean War era draft registration cards! #genealogy blog.fold3.com/korean-war-e...

I visited several bones chapels in Portugal. These curious and slightly disturbing chapels are built with bones from overcrowded cemeteries (some are said to be monks). They were supposed to offer a warning about the transience of life to those whose faith was faltering.

There are genetic genealogists working behind the scenes to identify victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. I am proud to say that I am one of those genetic genealogists. We have an incredible team! Remember his name #CLDaniel #TulsaOK #1921RaceMassacre #Veteran www.cnn.com/2024/11/17/u...

I’ve been struggling with is how to write about my research, most of it is centered around rural Galicia (Southern Poland), which can repetitive and un-detailed. Curious about ideas and how others deal with this topic (even if its not Eastern European) #Genealogy #History #OnePlaceWednesday

OK, here comes my attempt, modeled after Jeremy's, as I also have 100% Ashkenazi Jewish ethnic background. Thanks again @poloniagen.bsky.social and @jernealogy.bsky.social! (Alt text doesn't reproduce the chart, as it is worse than useless in this presentation in text format, see next post.) 1/7
