Just FYI, a lot of public libraries subscribe to ancestry.com - though you may have to use it in the library to get it free.

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!

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.

OK, the people who predicted the Rapture? Their website is already down.

Heh.

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.

So, looks like my friend's brother had a mini-stroke (or transient ischemic attack). They sent him home with meds after all his symptoms except for a slight headache had subsided. The odds of having a stroke after an TIA are pretty high comparatively so that's a worry but at least they are on alert now. Thanks for well wishes.

ION, fucking housing market and useless realtors and money and grrrrrrrrrrr. Slept badly, up early, and have not enough coffee and a headache and way too much thinky work today. feh.

IOON: Happy bday, Nutty! And Happy bday, Spidra!
