OK, first thing I see is that there are a whole bunch of other people researching him. His middle name was Nicholas, and it seems like he was mostly known as Nicholas when he was in the US. Here's a website with a whole lot of information on the family: [link]

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, that website is actually where I found him. It amazes me that it's still up, being hosted where it is.

The internet doesn't have all that much information on anything that far back -- you can find lists of Revolutionary War soldiers and stuff like that, and there are a few censuses, but most records of births and deaths and marriages were just kept by the churches, and only a few of them have put in the work to get them online and searchable. There is an LDS website that has scans of a lot of the old church records, but the earliest they have them in Louisiana is 1805, and I'm sure they're not anywhere close to complete. Stuff like that, you usually have to actually go to the church and go through the books yourself.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
All right BevDog, you are on. Since you are on LJ, I might do a watch and post every few eps over there. That is if it takes. From the pilot, I will say I will watch another.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm watching the Divergent movie. I'm also more than a little tipsy. Their Chicago geography is whack.
I do know a couple of people in the credits though. Good for them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Did the movie make you care about any of the characters? The book didn't, at least for me.

Bleah.
I just did the most onerous of all onerous tasks: I crawled under the house at 10:30PM, and hunkered down in the dust and god-knows-what on the floor of the crawl space, dodging the furnace ducts, I nailed hardware cloth (like heavy-duty wire screen mesh) over the entry way that some sort of animal was using to get in.
Worse, I found animal poop under the entry. Eww.
It was hard! And uncomfortable! And I have insulation in my hair!
So I'm drinking some scotch before I go to bed.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Holy crap, long quake! Any other Bayistas woken up by that?
