I have seen work address, names of spouse and children. One of my rural farmers appeared in a directory that included when they came to the county and where they were born. One bonus is being able to identify possible family through similar surnames. Of course that's when the surname is not too common.<br><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genealogy</span></a></p>

HistorySheWrote<p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> 11 April 1999 Ann Margaret Leight, 50, died from breast cancer in Las Cruces, New Mexico. She was an only child who had no children. As the young second wife of my uncle, she was not appreciated by his children. However, I enjoyed her quirky energy. She was a philosopher, writer, searcher and guide. She had a goal to walk around the United States, meeting and walking and talking with ordinary people along the way. About halfway through the journey, she received the diagnosis. Her last few months became a fight for her life. <br><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genealogy</span></a></p>

Amgine<p>Yet another <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genealogy</span></a> thing to trip over when translating old documents in Europe:</p><p>In the Germanic-derived languages, *hier* is related to place, "here" or "there" in English.</p><p>In French *hier* generally means "yesterday", and many Latinate languages are spelt similarly: ieri, ahir, ièri, eir, ayer, etc.</p><p>Where and when are often elements of baptismal records, and the dominant language in some regions flipped between the two language families.</p>

HistorySheWrote<p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> 10 April 1813 Ulrica was born to the widowed Brita Pehrsdotter. No father was named in the birth record, though Ulrica later took the name Ersdotter. Brita had been working at Eriksberg Castle in Stora Malm parish, Södermanland, when she became pregnant. Did Ulrica take the name Ersdotter due to her father being named Erik or did she base her name on Eriksberg? She followed in the footsteps of her mother, my ancestor. They each married a military man who died young and had a later child out of wedlock.<br><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genealogy</span></a></p>

Henry went into mining and eventually become a coal mine superintendents. He and his wife had 15 children and many descendants who are DNA matches. <br>Eugene, a retail salesman, married twice, losing a wife and daughter to early deaths.

HistorySheWrote<p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> 8 March 1808 The former crofter Peter Nilsson, 69, died from pneumonia in Hannäs parish, Kalmar County, Sweden. His wife, Stina Östensdotter, had died 16 months previously and his son, Lars Persson, had taken over the croft in 1805. After raising 6 children and 2 stepchildren, Peter was probably ready to slow down. Fortunately his son was able to provide for him and Stina until their deaths, sparing them the horrors of the poorhouse. They were my 5th-great-grandparents.<br><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genealogy</span></a></p>
