So I've been researching my Norwood line and it's been quite an interesting journey untangling the mess I've seen online. The Norwood (de Northwode/Northwood) line is an old English line that dates back to the 1100s. Because of this there are so so many descendants. #genealogy

I was saddened to see that Pacific Palisades was on fire. I know all too well how the Santa Ana winds can break havoc when there is a fire. I pray no more will burn, I saw a school completely gutted. I pray no one will be hurt and the fire is extinguished quickly.
An extremely dangerous situation is unfolding in southern California tonight.

ALT Evacuating From Wildfires: Always stay aware of your environment. Leave when asked by your local officials. Take Action Immediately: Leave as soon as evacuation is recommended by fire officials to avoid being caught in fire, smoke or road congestion. A delay could cost your life! Take the initiative to stay informed and aware. Listen to your radio, TV, or alerts on your phone for announcements from law enforcements and emergency personnel. Cover up to protect against heat and flying embers. Wear long pants, a long sleeve shirt, heavy shoes/boots, cap, a face mask, goggles or glasses. Ensure your emergency supply kit is in your vehicle. Enact your evacuation plan that includes the route you'll take and designated emergency meeting location outside the fire or hazard area.

I'd rather have the snow than the 🥶 🌧 as it is such a hazard.
We’re currently monitoring the development of a strong storm system moving into the southern Mainland Mon and Tue. Forecast uncertainty is high. We’ve narrowed it down to broad regions of the most probable precipitation type. Stay tuned for updates. #akwx

Well, for most parts of Kenai Pennisula. We on the very tip at Kechamak Bay will get heavy rain mixed with snow...which is very dangerous for driving. So anyone below Anchor Point, please be careful.
⚠ Heads up Southcentral! A winter storm watch is in effect for the Anchorage municipality and Western Kenai Peninsula. An advisory is in effect for the Matanuska Valley. Snow begins Monday and becomes heavier Monday night into early Tuesday. Plan on travel impacts. #akwx

This is very awesome for her family. I don't know her personally, but I know and work with her parents. I know they are positively glowing with immense pride. They were thrilled when she got chosen to go, but this is beyond words. Congrats, Kristen!!!

These docs are why it's so VERY important that children are taught to read & write cursive. It's faster than printing, most all old docs are in cursive, some with archaic words not used today or spelled differently than they are today. Being able to decipher them is vital.

LOL. The NYC Municipal Archives (@nycrecords) got so butthurt at being briefly mentioned in our recent Washington Post article about new Maryland records, as an example of an archive that we've had to sue, they wrote a whole Letter to the Editor being sad, and deflecting. 😆

Their main response to the factual claims that their agency has now been FOIL'ed or even sued under FOIL multiple times (by us) to get some never-before-online records copied (by us) and put online (by us) is...hey, they now have other stuff online!
