Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well, there's the thing. Unless for some strange reason he acknowledged his get on property, there's no way to tell owned from fathered. If he'd married a black woman, we'd know. We'd all know. Did Samuel own any Samuels? That's how the Moulton name got to us.

It looks like there were a few people named Sam or Samuel owned by someone named Samuel Barrett, but I'm not sure if all the Samuel Barretts are the same person. Sometimes it's Samuel Wisdom Barrett.

WindSparrow, I don't think I'd be able to find much just based on those names. The names are too common, so you'd need more information to figure out which was the right one.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hil, if I could trouble you for one more detail, did Malcolm Cornforth have any siblings?

I just spent half an hour looking at pictures of Thirsk. What a great place. I want to go there.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I should ask my grandmother for a copy of her digital genealogy files. She would probably be thrilled by that.

I'm picturing pre-revolutionary Russia with a bunch of tanning salons now.

I can just see a bunch of outdoor glass Snow White-style coffins to act as magnifying glasses to the sun's rays.

Smoke from a fire a mile or so away woke me up from 3-4, Loki decided to upend a carton of plantfood all over the kitchen floor (which necessitated a thorough cleaning at 6:30 am) and I just had to staple the hemline of my skirt. The rest of today better be awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's cool! Although I think it's a little weird that they use quotes from the teen profile of him without noting that -- I mean, I assume that's where the Gerry Speca quote came from, because Gerry has been dead for years. RIP, Gerry.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I was thinking some of those teachers quoted must be really spectacularly old people, and have really great memories to boot, even deBlasio was fairly memorable.

So wait, I just googled, and he did not die! Who am I thinking of??? Sorry, Gerry!
