How neat, what an interesting connection! I went out & bought the entire Boardwalk Empire series when I learned a character of US Marshal from Philly was on the show - which would have been based on my great grandfather. #genealogy #prohibition #usmarshal

I'm really grateful/thankful for the opportunities my #genealogy & #familyhistory research has afforded me. Such as the Smithsonian inviting me to their offsite storage facility to see up close & personal the Jonathan Scott Hartley bust of my ggg grandfather.

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send 10 dollars to the church of the Sacred Bleeding Heart Of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, CA
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did the next week I got a prayer with a girl

Happy Saturday! I'd like to share one of my dearest #familyphotos. A colorized version of my great grandma, Eleanor circa 1909. Methinks this may have been from her debut to #NYC Society.
