 Hey everybody. Morning looks like I might be alone again this morning. Who knows? Who knows? Re-watching Rob from yesterday. Good morning everybody. Donna was the first one here this morning, Donna Bauman. Always good to see the early people to jump in. Hillary's here from Wales. Afternoon, Hillary. Thomas Caroline is here. I'm going to mention Thomas's name in just a minute. Janine Lee Isleman Goodman is here from Middle Tennessee. Good morning. Let's see. Jory Jordan. She's got some numbers up this morning. Don't know what they mean. Let's see. Time in South Africa. Oh, 1658. Gotcha, Jory. Kathy Weisman. Good morning. And that's so fun. Everybody is here. We're having fun so far. And we've got things to talk about, like Thomas Caroline. Does anybody, did anybody, does anybody else know, besides me, that Thomas Caroline is a new leader at WikiTree? Yay, Thomas. So one of our regulars. Yay. We've got new leaders, WikiTree leaders, Betty Norman, Paula Staunton, Scott McClain, Elizabeth Vinney or Viney, Thomas Caroline, Denise Jarrett, Matty Hardman and Laura DeSpain. How about that? Good morning, Tommy Buck, from the Bayou State. 54 degrees. Let me see. I haven't even looked to see what the weather is today. It looked like it was cloudy. Let's see. It was cloudy during the eclipse. Did anybody else get up to watch the eclipse the other morning? I got up in cloud bank, clouds everywhere. And I have two other friends who are kind of astronomical geeks. And we all talked about getting together and seeing it. We would judge whether we would do that on the weather. So two of us got up like the groundhog. We got up, we saw clouds. We went back to bed. But the third one, she got up and said it was a beautiful, clear sky. So I don't know where she's living. Not in my city. Yes, she does. Anyway, it was fun. Fun and funny. So yeah, minus two, no, it's zero degrees here in cloudy. So looking for a little bit of snow, a little bit of snow. Is it flurried a bit yesterday on me? That's okay. I like flurries. I love snow. My neighbors hate me because I love snow. But they also like me because I'll shovel their driveway too for fun. Okay, weirdo. So obviously I'm by myself and I'm just talking to myself. So we've got some things to talk about. So we already announced that there are some new leaders out there and congratulations to all of you people. And that Thomas Kerline is one of those people. We've also got some fun questions of the week and other stuff going on. I think I'm fairly, fairly well, I've got things under control today, I think. Do you notice I didn't play the intro music twice? So that helps. Question of the week. This is a really, really good question of the week. Why do you say? Because if you want to find some really good resources, go to this question of the week and you're going to find some really good resources. Of course, Pip, I had to pick you as the best answer because he said the wiki tree community, it's the best tool out there and it's free. All other genealogy tolls pale in comparison. Not sure about the wording on tolls, but yeah. I see Thomas Kerline is giving us a rain, rainy for us to see the moon here, unfortunately, on Thursday. Well, at least you got up and tried. Yeah. So Alexis Nelson really simply, she doesn't give us links, but she gives us a list really simply, wiki tree, DAR records, family search, find a grave, SAR records, newspaper.com, ancestry.com, Wikipedia, and the Muskogee Oklahoma Library. So if you ever want to find Alexis Nelson, if you hang out at the Muskogee Oklahoma Library, you might run into her. This one is from Dito Lawrence. I use most beside wiki tree as trees to find matches. Genius net, ancestry, and Jed base genealogy.net. Let's see. And then searching for resources, he's got some other stuff listed. So if you're into German genealogy, this would probably be a very good list from Dieter. Victoria, Australia's BDM registry from Ben Malzworth. He says trove newspaper and other archives at the National Library of Australia. So a lot of the people who are looking, I mean, we know that wiki tree is very international. So obviously we've seen somebody from Oklahoma posting, we've seen somebody from Deutschland posting Dieter. And now we've got some Australian information from Ben Malzworth, Public Records Office of Victoria for Wills. Find a grave to a lesser extent, billion graves. And find a grave is a good place sometimes to find hints, because sometimes the stuff on find a grave is not good. Even when there's a picture of a tombstone, you can't be sure that that tombstone was put up contemporaneously with a person's death. I've come across, I have a tombstone in our family that lists all the children and their birth and death dates on the parents' tombstone. So obviously that tombstone was not put up contemporaneously with the person's death. He also says Ben, Australian cemeteries. Locally, most of Melbourne cemeteries are either online at Southern Metropolitan Cemetery's Trust or Greater Metropolitan Cemetery's Trust. So lots of great information from Ben for Australian stuff. Let's see, I have to go way down here to find this. This is from Tommy Bach. Tommy doing a good job, got some great links in here. So he's got tons of links. He's got website calculator tools and stuff, charts, relationship charts. Somebody asked me for a good relationship chart recently. And I have, I don't think I saw this one from Wikimedia. Jedmatch for DNA tools. Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, you and I need to talk about your choice of DNA tools because Jedmatch is not the only fish in that sea. There's tons of great DNA tools out there beyond Jedmatch, one of which is mydoidna.org. I'm allowed to say that I am. I am. The map of the US, you know, it's amazing how many times when I'm looking for something, I want to know where somebody lived in relationships with somebody else. So I'm constantly going to Google Maps to look at the distances or how somebody would travel from here to there, you know, if they lived in the 1800s or whatever. Interesting. So Illinois statewide marriage indexes. He's got Mac and desktop laptop apps, which is cool Mac iPod apps and YouTube channels. He's got lots of really great information. Tommy Buck does. And I love that. I love that everybody's kind of putting a name in for their local library, the Jennings Carnegie Public Library genealogy section. Rhonda Kratz says, I'm new to this work, work full time and have a very full house right now. My toolbox is lacking. I use WikiTree family search and my family Rhonda, do you ever have a great list of tools now based on this question of the week? Really? I have to scroll way down to see who left this huge thing. Em Ross has a great list of stuff. And geographically, the Great Britain, Scotland, Kent Surrey Sucks, Sussex Staffordshire, Shropshire, Ireland. Yep, I know those two. Canada. Yeah, the Library and Archives Canada is the top one. Great records that are available there. Canadian Headstones. Good one. Ontario. Yay. And then specific places. Dufourin Museum. Interesting. The Historic West Meath Project. Nice. Nice job. Janine Isleman Family Search, Ancestry, Fine and Grey, WikiTree, Jedmatch. WikiTree should be at the top of your list, Janine. I'm just saying. Just saying. Ah, let's see. Cheryl Grogan has a good list too. And there's more. There's so much more in Kent marriages. Great specific location searches. So take some time, head over and check out this information. Dennis Barton put up a really good answer here. And it's something we've got to consider, even though we're so closely connected to internet information and searches, we always have to keep in mind this. Dennis Barton says, I'm a bit disappointed with the responses to this question. All these answers say that the only tool anybody uses anymore is the computer. That's not right. That's not correct. A lot of people are talking about their local libraries and we've been pointing that out. What would grandma think about nobody visiting the historical society? We didn't list a lot of historical societies in these answers. Or the genealogy room. There's the Carolina Room at the Greenville County Library where I grew up that I know very well from being a kid growing up. The courthouse or hooping it through the cemetery or doing anything created to find things that aren't on the web or getting off his or her bottom or bum to try and find new info. Has anyone found any good tools for finding records that don't show up in web searches these days? That was a really good comment. There was lots of conversation about that afterwards. You can go to the G2G feed, but I suggest you go and check out the question of the week because there's lots and lots and lots of great answers and all of that. Morning. June has appeared. Hey June. Always a smile to see you and Wendy Callahan. Good morning. We have Facebook user hiyall, hiyall, not hiyall, but hiyall. We're going to move right along. I could go through, there's tons, there's so many great answers. Anyway, go through and read through all of this stuff. Here's another really good post with lots of stuff from Heather Cushion. Lots of great posts and the answers to the question of the week. Just real quickly, join us live right now for WikiTree. Thank you Aon. I wanted to show a picture of my beautiful hometown since we were talking about local histories and local libraries and stuff. This is not the local library, but isn't that gorgeous? That's Greenville, South Carolina. That is the historic Falls Cottage, which was built as a guest house in 1894. Not incredibly early for Greenville's history because Greenville has a much older history, but still a very beautiful picture. Let's see. Thomas Kernelon, you can't add an answer to the question of the week after I finished answering all the questions of the week. Moving on. Let's see. The genealogy toolbox answer goes on and on. More comments on the Facebook page. Funeral cards. How many people have funeral cards? Check out the Facebook feed for that as well. Moving along. I'm going to try and keep up with your posts as I go through the questions as well and the information this morning. Which extraordinary Elizabeth are you mostly connected to? This week we're doing the Elizabeth connections. Make sure you vote up those answers and the answers that people have put up. It's really cool that people do that, but make sure you vote those. Elizabeth Miller Actress. Does anybody know who Elizabeth Miller is? Elizabeth Clara Heath Sladen Miller 1946 to 2011. She's from Liverpool. She is a notable. She was born in Lancashire. She was Sarah Jane Smith in the television series Doctor Who. She was born in Liverpool and not a lot of stuff on that on that profile. Maybe get some stuff beefed up on there. Let's see. Oh, look and Abby's saying, hey, take a look at the sources of the biography and see if there are updates. Interesting. All right. So Doctor Who. Where is, where is our, yeah, Hillary's got it. Yeah. Where is Chris Ferriero? He would like that Doctor Who comment. Let's see. Who's next? Let's see. Doctor Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor in the United States, 1821 to 1910. Geneva Medical College, where Elizabeth Blackwell attended medical school. Oh, how close are you to Elizabeth Blackwell? I don't know. Do I have, yeah, I do. I am 19 from Elizabeth Blackwell. Pretty good. She in the 1800s women did not practice medicine. Elizabeth officially practiced medicine. We must say. I don't know about you, but growing up in the Appalachian area of South Carolina, there were a lot of women who practiced medicine back then. And lots of women who were dumbas or midwives. And they were often asked to be the doctors for communities. That's pretty cool. Janine, I summon your 15 degrees from Elizabeth Blackwell. So in the 1800s women didn't practice medicine officially. She brought about a revolutionary change by becoming the first woman to earn a medical degree on January 23, 1849 to become the first woman doctor in the United States. There's a picture of her diploma. That is very cool. And a picture of her in looks like morning clothing. She opened up a practice in New York City. She wasn't very successful initially. And then she opened a dispensary in New York for indigent women and children. Nice. Nice. So she has a pretty cool biography. I like the clippings, the picture, her diploma. That's pretty cool. I never knew that there was a first female doctor. Early life and studies, home schooled for much of her education. Her father died when she was 17. Cool. Professional career. What a great profile of the week. What a great profile. Nice. Moving along, Elizabeth Cotton, folk musician. I don't know about you, but I think I could sit on a bench and talk to her for a while. Elizabeth Cotton, American folk blues singer, musician, songwriter. She was nicknamed Libba by the children of musician Charles Seager, who was her employer. Although she was Seager's housekeeper, she became one of the premier guitarists of the 20th century. She taught herself how to play the guitar in banjo early in life, married at 14 and went to work doing various kinds of domestic work. Through the years she played her guitar to entertain the children she babysat for and for own personal enjoyment. While working in the Seager home in the 1950s, she was discovered, I can't imagine that, and encouraged to perform in public. She performed at the Newport Folk Festival on many occasions during the 50s, 60s, and 70s. How cool. She performed at Carnegie Hall and on Austin City Limits, which is a show I love if you aren't familiar with Austin City Limits. That's a really good show. Nice. I'm gonna have to pull up some Elizabeth Cotton and listen to that today. Dame Elizabeth Frink. Elizabeth Jean Frink. She's a Dame. She's an English sculptor and print maker known for her interest in naturalistic forms, particularly of human figures and horses. Oh well. Well, not a lot of stuff on her profile. I imagine that behind her are some of her sculptures in that picture. It'd be nice to have a couple of those on our listing today. The next Elizabeth. Elizabeth Hasselblad. Saint Nurse Founder of the Catholic Bridgeteens Order. Thomas Kernelon. You're gonna check me on that one. Bridgeteens. Oh my. Saint Maria Elizabeth Hasselblad was a Swedish nurse who converted to the Roman Catholic Church and formed the new branch of Bridgeteens known as the Bridgeteens Sisters, righteous among nations due to her efforts to save lives of Jewish people during the Holocaust. Cool. Her parents, family moved to Fallen Delana. I want to know how she became a saint. There she is an older, there's Saint Elizabeth in her habit. She was been able to acquire the house of Saint Bridgeteens Rome. Oh, it doesn't really talk about how she became a saint. That's interesting. Check out that profile. Not too bad. Not too bad. Elizabeth Montgomery. Actress. You know who she is if you grew up and... Oh, Thomas Kernelon's got a great comment over here. Let's pull that up. It's kind of an incredible story about Libba Cotton, the folk musician, guitarist, gave up music in her youth to work and raise a family, but decades later while working in a department store in D.C., she helped the lost child find her mother who just happened to be Ruth Crawford Seeger. Oh, cool. Anyway, as the bio suggested, Ruth offered her a job and later the children discovered her playing one of her old tunes in the kitchen on one of the many family guitars and insisted she teach them. That is pretty cool, Thomas. Thank you. And Hillary is closest to Elizabeth Montgomery and Elizabeth Anne Seaton. I'm closest to Elizabeth Anne Seaton as well. So Elizabeth Montgomery, if you aren't familiar with American television, was the star of the... I can't even do if I try and wiggle my nose like she did. Bewitched. The TV show Bewitched. And that's a cute picture with her mother-in-law and Darren or etc. That's her mother, isn't it? And then Darren. It's a cute show. That's a pretty good... pretty good profile for her, too. Nice. So how close are you to Elizabeth Montgomery? Let me swing over here to Elizabeth Montgomery. 19 degrees. So I'm pretty close to Elizabeth Montgomery. Moving on down in our Elizabeth Nichols, activist and editor. She is Elizabeth Webb Bakewell Nichols. She is born in the colony of South Australia. She's a notable and part of the Suffragette movement. Elizabeth Webb Nichols, named Bakewell. Remembered as a social reformer, women's activist, women's suffragist, and editor of Our Federation, the Journal of Women's Christian Temperance Union. She played a large part in getting the vote in South Australia in 1896, which is quite early, comparatively. That's great. Let's see. She married a fellow Methodist, Alfred Nichols, a warehouse man, and he had five children. And the children's links to their profiles are listed. She also raised two orphan relatives. And there's a picture of her older and older in life, later in life. What a nice profile, too. Women's non-political, non-party political association. Loving memory, Alfred Richards and Nichols. Nice. Very nice tombstones, too. Nice. Nice profile. Let's move right along to Countess Mary Annette Beauchamp Russell. Okay, Kiribilli, New South Wales, Australia. Beautiful photograph. It must be your wedding photograph. Let's see. Born in 1866 in the family home. She migrated from New South Wales to England. Mary's parents decided to follow her mother's wealthy brother, Frederick Lasseter, to live in London, where opportunities for culture and education would benefit the growing family. There's some interesting modifications of the profile here. She studied music, the organ, under a famous teacher, Sir Walter Parrot. She had a literary career and then was affected by the death of Harry von Arndam during the World War. And she and her five children, including accounts longed for son, left Prussia. She divided her time between various London addresses. And her chalet, Soleil, Montana, Switzerland. Interesting. Boy, that's a nice long article about her, her good profile. So how close are you to Mary? Elizabeth. The next one, Elizabeth Ann Seton. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. She's my closest. She was the first person born in what would become the United States to be canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. She was born in New York City and an Episcopalian. Three years old. She had, let's see, brothers remain. Da da da da. Let's see. Da da da da. They lived in New York. And how did she, okay, so she and William traveled to Italy, where she first encountered the Ronan Catholic Church, the trip, as well as the Seatons taking in William's orphaned six younger siblings in conflict between the U.S. and France's effect on merchant trade contributed to the family's bankruptcy. And not long after, William died of tuberculosis, leaving Elizabeth a widow with young children in a foreign land. Following his death, she converted to Catholicism. Nice. At the invitation of Archbishop John Carroll. She started the first girl's Catholic school in the country in Baltimore, Maryland. Nice. It was with money from the charity given to Dr. DuBorg that she was able to start the school. Nice. Let's see. Mother Seton continued her work until her death. She died of tuberculosis as well. Let's see. I'm scrolling to see if I can see how she became, so St. Elizabeth of the Ancet was beatified in 1963 and canonized as a saint. She was the first American to be canonized. Her first day is January, feast day is January 4th, but it doesn't say why she was elected to become beatified. That's interesting. So if anybody knows about Elizabeth Ann Seton, that would be cool. Cool. And the final one is Countess Elizabeth Bathory. And I think that they threw this one in just so that I might try and pronounce these words. But she's the blood Countess. That's interesting. According to widespread misbelief, Elizabeth Bathory was one of the most notorious serial killers in history. So we have saints and killers on the show today. Supposedly murdering over 600 women are castled during her lifetime. There is no evidence that she actually committed the crime she's alleged to have done. It's more likely that stories were made up by rival families. She was the widow of one of the most powerful and wealthy noblemen of Hungary. She managed enormous states and was documented to have been very good to her people, offering scholarships and running a practically, running practically a hospital in her castle. I got so running a hospital in her castle. Her trial was not fair by the standards of her time, torturing witnesses and so on. It's widely believed that the case was to seize her estate. So they were after her. Thank you, Thomas. They were after her money, after her land. In Hungarian that is pronounced like a normal T as with most languages. I'm not even going to try and pronounce those things Thomas, but thank you very much. So interesting. Countess of blood and they were trying to get her lands and interesting. So, wow, people were tortured. Interesting. Nice short profile, but a nice profile nonetheless. So those were our closest connections and let's see if I was connected to her very closely. Did I miss Elizabeth Tudor? Did I miss Elizabeth Tudor? That's interesting. Elizabeth Tudor is listed in the list, but she's not in the list on the thing. So let's find Elizabeth Tudor. So I am 18. Oh, actually, Elizabeth Tudor is my closest at 18. So Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth, the first of England is in the list, but wasn't on the list in the GDG post. She was the Queen of England 1558 to 1603. And if you aren't familiar with Elizabeth Tudor, I saw an interesting article yesterday where people were taking pictures of people in history. Let's see if there's the picture that they're talking about and showing what they would look like if you put today's clothing and today's hairstyles on them and like makeup styles. It's pretty interesting. They actually made Elizabeth Tudor. I've always thought she looks very starchy, very not approachable, but in the picture where they did the new styles and things, she looked pretty approachable. So she is the child of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. So Anne Boleyn, even though Anne Boleyn's history and her fame. Oh, cool. So she became Anne Boleyn's genes are in the royal Tudor line. So that's pretty cool. Kathy Wiseman, thank you very much. She looked up Seaton, Elizabeth Seaton to see what it was that started her beatification. And it was that she was involved in the healing of a four-year-old girl who had leukemia in 1952. That's fascinating. June Butka is third cousin, 13 times removed of Elizabeth Tudor. How close are you and I, June? Both pretty closely related. So she was born in 1533 at Grinch Palace in Kent, christened in 1533. The youngest daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, named after her paternal grandmother, Elizabeth of York. And if you know anything about the Hundred Years War, the Yorks and the Tudors, Elizabeth childhood was marred with uncertainty when Elizabeth's mother failed to give King Henry a son. She was executed on the charges of adultery. Elizabeth was only two years at the time when she lost her mother, had a profound effect on her. Despite these tribulations, Elizabeth received an excellent education becoming well versed in Latin, Greek, French and Italian. She had tutors. She was a pretty incredible queen. She was the longest living monarch until Elizabeth II, our Elizabeth that's now on the throne. I'll check it out here in just a bit, June. So she was she brained in Elizabeth in England. She was her during her reign. We had people like Nicholas Bacon and who was one of my ancestors and Lord William Cecil. She sent Sir Walter Raleigh off to found the Roanoke project or the Roanoke in off Roanoke, the Lost Colony. William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and Marlowe and Edmund Spencer, they're all a part of that Elizabethan time. So it was a pretty cool era. And she was a Protestant person. And at that point in time, the Protestants in the Catholic Catholicism was was kind of a hard thing. And Mary Stuart Queen of Scots was likely to be her successor. But instead, it was Mary's son. So that's pretty interesting. That's a really good profile for her as well. All through there. Nice pictures, nice background. I like a background that is not doesn't distract from the from the actual profile. That's nice. So it looks like it's just lime work on a wall or something. So that's Elizabeth Tudor and Thomas Kerneline is first cousin 17 times removed from her. And he is a direct descendant of Mary Boleyn and sister. So I suppose we'd be first cousins. That's pretty cool. Thomas Kerneline. Nice. And that is our connections of the week. Let's see if I can get to the next do photos of the week. Photos of the week. The photos of the week. Let's see. And this is a sweet one. So the photo of the week, the theme is thankful. And this is really sweet and was promoted to best answer. And this is from Connie Mack. Although I was only allowed 30 years, eight months and nine plus months of gestation. I will never forget and thankful he was in my life. Nicholas Oliver Willard at 12 years old, a picture of peace. That is just so sweet. And Alexis Nelson never fails to give us a great photo. This is a 1944 photo of my mother, Clarice Loveless, looking so very happy and thankful that she's been able to spend Christmas with my father and receive this new coat for him from him. And I'm assuming that he was in the army. That's just a great picture and a great fur coat. Let's see. I love this picture. Always thankful when we visited my father's sister Catherine and her husband Bob Best. And I don't know how to pronounce the name of that city in Massachusetts. Is it Sitch 8? We usually drove down from Canada in the summer. But here we are at Thanksgiving in 1953. Mother Evelyn Miller as at the left. Uncle Bob at the right. And cousin Doug on the far right. And boy, Doug, if you look at his eyesight, he is eyeing those turkey legs. He wants one of those turkey legs. That's from Pat Miller. That's a great picture. And I love this picture. Thanksgiving table. Remember to upvote these pictures too. Did I upvote the other one? Yeah. Upvote your pictures in these posts. Thanksgiving table. The women and the family is about 1942. And this from Bill Sims. My grandmother, Alma, my Aunt Catherine, my Aunt Lillian, my great grandmother Ruth. There she is back there. My mother Ruth, nice. And great aunt Anna Lucille. That's great. I asked my mom, why just the women in this picture? And she said that the men were involved in stuff related to World War II. Not sure what was going on. The ages of the men covered many years. But I guess they shared Thanksgiving meal among the women of the family. How fortunate that you have this picture of your family doing what they do. Even with the families all separated, nice that they could get together and enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner. And how thankful they could be for that. Boy, this picture was a lot better in another place. Beautiful Aunt Lois. When she was in her 80s, she lived to be 95. One of the reasons I'm thankful to her is that she always encouraged me in my genealogical work and provided me with much of the information I've been able to gather on the Dodge family. And that's from Robin Scholls. There is a better picture, a better version of that picture. This is a cute picture from Dieter Lawrence. This photo is from 1961 and shows my paternal grandparents, Emma Augustine Reher and Martin Lawrence. With me, there he is, and my brother Axel in the so-called Kleine or little room in our house in Leitzen's Segevore County Schleswig Holstein. And I thought it was interesting to hear this story because you know, you have the big thing from the kids table. You have the kids table and the parents situate. Thank you very much for that. But you have the kids table in Germany in the houses in my home village. There was a former times besides, in former times beside a large living kitchen where the families usually stayed, a so-called Kleine Sturba, which is a little room in this room. Grandpa took his afternoon nap and in the afternoon coffee was drunk there, of course, with grandma's home baked cookies and raisin cakes. The Gudestuba, the living room, was only used on occasions such as birthdays and Christmas. This picture raises the questions of who is more thankful. The grandparents that they're two oldest grandchildren are with them and sit with them at the coffee table. And amazingly, that's called a coffee table, whereas we have a different kind of coffee table, but that makes so much more sense. The oldest grandchildren are with them and sit with them at the coffee table, or that the grandchildren can drink the coffee with grandma and grandpa. That's so cute. I love that picture in the Kleine Sturba, the little room. I love, love, love this picture. I have a picture of my two children sitting, they were playing games, but I have a picture of them from the back as well. I love taking pictures of the back of people. I did that just recently with my parents in Niagara Falls. So this is from Gillian Locke. What an incredible view as well. Chosen this picture of two of my grandchildren enjoying the view from Catbells in the English Lake District. Taken in 2018, they were five and seven at the time and must have been very thankful to reach the top and enjoy that lovely view. It's a favorite holiday spot of ours too, though our calming days are over. Isn't that just a great picture? Love that picture. Oh, that's, this is so fun. June Book is making food. And Sue Carrera, you've got fourth cousin, fourteenth time removed to Elizabeth Tudor. Could be a cousin of Thomas. That's cool. Let's see. Wendy says I'm from the South Shore of Massachusetts. And when I brought my Midwestern husband there a few years ago, he had a heck of a time pronouncing the towns as I did. And wonderful, thank you, situate. That's how you pronounce the name of that town in Massachusetts. Moving on down, this is from Janine, isn't it? Yeah, Janine Isleman. This is a family photo of me and my brothers, Michael and Jonathan. She's thankful that they're always there when I needed them. Nice. And how cute. I like this picture too, Mark Scott. And this is a picture of the 92nd birthday celebration and thankful to have him around. That's really cool. Really cool. The memorial at Jamestown, Virginia, thankful for our forefathers and mothers for establishing a life in a new country. And a beautiful diamond wedding anniversary for and holding a diamond wedding anniversary card from Queen Elizabeth. That's pretty cool. That's from Christine Frost. Nice. Elizabeth R. Nice. Oh, and my mother on her seventh birthday, though she seems more proud of her new doll carriage and flag. And she seems very thankful. That's from Joyce Fander Bogart. thankful. And this season of the year brings to mind Thanksgiving, of course. And I'm very thankful for the traditions of childhood. And this one is the carving of the turkey is the title of that picture. Lieutenant Robert Dean Aran was thankful to receive this award from Queen Victoria for contributions to the railroad project in India using a diving apparatus his father and uncle invented to set foundations of underwater bridges. That's pretty cool. That's from Marion Saruti. Oh, and this is this is I don't know if you guys are aware of the flooding that's going on out west. But this is from John Thompson, who lives out there and is kind of isolated right now. We're thankful that we can still walk around the outside of our house with shoes on. We found ourselves cut off at the center of 100 mile radius in all directions as a result of another 10 inches of warm rain over two days, which has created havoc over southwestern British Columbia. There's parts of Vancouver that are cut off from the mainland and will be for a while because so many roads were washed out, lots of damage. The highway is blocked on both sides and there's a 10 mile flooded area in both directions. If the start of the shutdown all routes to the interior are closed by slides washed out and overhead is a flightway of helicopters and aircraft starting the recovery efforts. And sadly, he they have lost some friends that were taken out by some of the slides. So sending you lots of warm thoughts and care and be safe and stay in and just be safe, John. And we're thankful for you. Let's see, I think this is the last picture. Yeah, the last picture of the week is great Thanksgiving picture from Lloyd Wright. What a great extended family Christmas picture is this the name of this one. And let's see, is there a kids table? No, it looks like the kids there isn't a technical kids table for this for this group. Our family always had the kids table and I don't think I ever graduated being the youngest kid. I don't think I ever graduated to the top. Oh, let's see. Wendy says that it's that time of years to bake all sorts of delicious things that in reply to June. I have to bake something. Thomas says not going to be too lavish Thanksgiving this year. But once December comes around, I'm going to be spending all of my free time baking. Just about. Hi, Stephen. Apple pie yesterday. What? Apple pie? I forgot to add the thickener. Apple pie is my least favorite pie of all. And you forgot the thickener June June. Let's see. I have other things. Oh, our our challenge for this week is Michael Lakopo. He is a DNA expert. And he's also holds he his website is roots for you. And it takes on his ancestry on wiki tree more accurate. than it is anywhere else. So if you want to get in and participate, that's a great idea. Michael Lakopo is very, very well known and good for wiki tree. Yeah, June. June says she didn't make a blueberry pie because she didn't have any fresh blueberries. Do you have any questions? I'm going to stop my screen share and come back. Let's see. I think that we've covered everything this that means you're going to get get to finish 10 minutes early. So how about that? So that's everything. Thomas loves an apple pie. But it's not my favorite either. It's true. Southern, Midwestern fashion. My family claims accurately to make the world's best pecan pie. Now I could talk to you about some pecan pies, Thomas, that that I do like pecan pies. They're good. So if you got any wiki tree questions, we've got a few minutes that we can talk or we can just close it out. I can I'm going to play us out with music this time. So you guys have a good week. Enjoy yourself. And let me find where I'm doing. There we go. See you later.
