The main family lines I have are Coolidge and Bradshaw. I'm following other trails, but those are the ones I have hardcopy documentation on.

seriously. either she drove them to suicide or was really good at covering up a murder. Either way, doesn't bode well for #3.
Maybe she just went for the moody Byronic types?
Last week I weirdly ended up correcting my 80-something cousin about family history from the 50s. She thought Dad was a Korean War vet—but he was stationed in peacetime Germany in the late 50s and the only thing he fought during his Army stint was sobriety.

Today is my little sister's birthday! She's never around here any more, which makes me sad, but she is well and THIRTY-FIVE.

Happy birthday to your sis, whose Buffista name I am tragically unsure of. Nutty? Erm. I had forgotten we're almost the same age - I turn 35 on the 21st.

Happy 35th, Nutty!
The ancestry stuff is pretty cool. Liese, I know my family hasn't records that were destroyed at Hiroshima, but we have missing stuff due to Japan's invasion of China their subsequent renaming of people.
I am super surprised at the difficulty I'm having with Hawaiian birth records though, for my gram and gramp.
My free trial with ancestry.com ends next week, so I'm going to print off what I have and be done. I know more than I used to!

Yeah, our archives has the same deal. They also have access to our Vital Stats Records DB, which caused a bit of a flap, because it is free from our website, but behind a paywall at there's. Which is a way of saying, look directly at archives websites.
Happy Birthday Nutty!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies Nutty!!!
My mom's side of the family are Finnish. A bunch of family records were destroyed when the Russians burned a Finnish church during WWII.

We're having a sit-in at our house this morning, and by we, I mean mac. Refusing to get dressed or go to school (which has already started, btw). He also defiantly just sat in his bed and emptied his bladder this morning. wtf kid. I am ignoring him at the moment, about to start work. He knows the deal if he does this: no tv, no electronics, and I don't make him lunch.
