My name is Kerry. I like dead people. How I Make Money. Stuff I Personally Own and Recommend. Hey, where’s the job hunting stuff? Can We Stop Calling Grandma a Whore? It’s possible I’m about to get rant-y. Also, if you intend to watch Downton Abbey but haven’t yet reached season four, you should know that there’s a spoiler ahead. So she keeps quiet. And she wonders if she’s pregnant. Now, in the show, it turns out she’s not pregnant. But what if she had been? She, like all women of that era, had few choi...

Roots Notes - jottings on my own family histories, on Jewish genealogy, on genealogy in general, and on ways of telling our family stories. Thursday, 11 December 2014. I think we need to talk. I met Cousin Joan yesterday. Well, Third Cousin Joan. She came across me online a few months ago, but this was the first time we had met - she lives in Israel, and was coming over to London for a couple of days, so I hopped on the train and went up to see her. Joan saw what I had written, and posted a comment:.

The Four Days Isaac Fine Went Insane from Syphilis | Treelines
http://b.treelines.com/the-four-days-isaac-fine-went-insane-from-syphillis
Treelines Share family stories. The Four Days Isaac Fine Went Insane from Syphilis. August 5, 2014. Chicago Examiner, 6/15/1909. With the help of my friend Alex, I’ve been painstakingly reconstructing the movements of my margarine-moonshining ancestors. Minnie’s death certificate from Brooklyn, 1932 also listed her as married, but did not list the name of her spouse. Why? Then a notoriously awful insane asylum. The 1940 census had this Isaac still in an asylum, the nearby Pilgrim State Hospital. Also a p...

TwentyOne Seven: A tale of three brothers - or maybe four
http://twentyone-seven.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-tale-of-three-brothers-or-maybe-four.html
Roots Notes - jottings on my own family histories, on Jewish genealogy, on genealogy in general, and on ways of telling our family stories. Sunday, 30 November 2014. A tale of three brothers - or maybe four. Here’s a tale of three brothers, all born in Gombin (‘Gabin’ in Polish) around 1780-1800. Or maybe four. So much for the three brothers. But could there be a fourth? The earliest records I have found which I can identify as being for this Szmul are from 1817 and 1819, where he is simply Szmul IZRAEL&...

Roots Notes - jottings on my own family histories, on Jewish genealogy, on genealogy in general, and on ways of telling our family stories. Monday, 2 June 2014. On the Frankenstein Trail. Amongst our discoveries have been a stash of documents shut away in a cupboard in Tel Aviv for 30 years, including a letter written in Yiddish that no-one could read. We've now had it translated, and it is mortifying, the saddest letter I ever hope to read. We are now at the point where we have four Frankensteins, Tauba...

Do the other night, pretty much minding my own business, soaking up the music and sipping down the London Pride, when I was accosted by this woman asking "are you Michael"?
