I'm Caucasian, with ancestry charts back through Russia to Germany in the 1700's, but certain characteristics on that side of the family make me wonder whether there was an East Asian in there somewhere.<br />One great-grandfather died of a spider bite, but not until after having children. One grandfather worked in lead-and-zinc mines, but got a job running the hoist (the elevator). As a result, unlike his brothers, he lived long enough and healthy enough to have children.Jim Swindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632113399696237695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478273688536973765.post-20870878789931344832011-01-23T19:48:40.235+00:002011-01-23T19:48:40.235+00:00Jinsky.

Lots of the photos are simply historical records of everyday life, not linked to the Blogger's ancestors at all. Some are like time capsules, full of data, whereas others are no more than examples of unknown photographers' attempts at being artists...Jinksyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686101468214361004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478273688536973765.post-85527047590398815182011-01-23T18:59:55.479+00:002011-01-23T18:59:55.479+00:00Greetings, Happy Sunday!

Would the science of chemistry have developed any faster at the end of the eighteen century if Antoine Lavoisier had been other than a tax collector? Eh? What sort of question is that? Well . . . he discovered what we now call the Law of Mass Action, but was guillotined because, as a tax collector, he represented oppression. <br /><br />Margaret . . see what I mean! You're a blogger today (partly) because your great grandmother produced children BEFORE an operation which could have ended her life. <br /><br />Thanks, Britta. All of life can be seen as a sequence of lucky strikes, big and small.<br /><br />(Think my attribution is wrong!

Her eldest son heard his mother's agonized screams and until his dying day never saw a doctor! My 13 year old daughter just had an appendectomy. She is fit as a fiddle and running around two weeks later.
