Only interested in Ancestry's 1890 Club if they reconstructed the 1890 census by reading it off the burnt fragments à la www.smithsonianmag.com/history/buri...

Check the t-shirt: "You can take the girl out of Homestead, but can't take the Homestead out of this girl."
One such example was the 1892 Homestead steel strike in Pennsylvania. I went on this Carnegie tour of Scotland with @tammyhepps.bsky.social, Homestead historian, who told me the backstory, detailing Carnegie's role in the union busting that left workers dead in a riot involving 300 Pinkertons. 3/

@thecuckootree.com did the work for me of summarizing my trip to Carnegie's birthplace. I indoctrinated her into my anti-Carnegie cult, and she indoctrinated me into the cult of her gorgeous dog, Enzo.
I just went to the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum in Dunfermline, where he's considered something of a hometown hero. He was a major philanthropist and generous benefactor to causes around the world, but also a union buster and rapacious factory owner whose employees lived in near poverty. 🗃️ 1/
