For so many years, our Thanksgiving tradition was to split firewood for my grandparents. They used a wood fireplace to hear the majority of their living space in the winter months.

A little over 97 years ago, in rural #Iowa, the family scandal of my great-granduncle, Joseph Kinney (1901-1983) began to unfold. It's 1927 & the height of #Prohibition. Involved in some bootlegging & rum-running, Joe is involved in a shootout that resulted in the death of Milo Slezak. #genealogy

And now 6 generations of my maternal line. This is where the most recent immigrants really are. @jernealogy.bsky.social #genealogy

Ok, my first of these files. This is 6 generations of my paternal line. Have one case of unknown parentage, hence the massive blank spot. Several of these lines I can take back another 3 generations in the US. @jernealogy.bsky.social #genealogy

"Anna Davis is seeking for a divorce from her lord and husband..." Um, excuse me? The notice goes on to conclude "Happily, the couple have no children." Davenport Weekly Republican, Davenport, Iowa 26 Aug 1899. #genealogy

I LOVE THIS! 😍 I was able to uncover the story around the drowning of my 13-year old 2x grand uncle in 1877 - and same thing, read like a movie script! (design here is my own for my records).
