In genealogy-speak, it means that the African ancestry is estimated to have come from a direct ancestor, the most recent being a great-grandparent (1x great but could have come great-great, great-great-great, great-great-great-great, great-great-great-great-great, or...

Interestingly, if you go under "Unidentified Mengele Twins Found on Lists" on the Candles website, you'll find A-7735 Gottesmann, Joseph Transcription error? Another sibling? The other list on Candles shows Elias and Jeno as being only 4.

I wonder if they've tested DNA against Terry Peder Rasmussen or any of the bodies in the barrels. The DOJ timeline shows him in AZ in 1973 and 1975 but he had a habit of traveling. It would be quite a stretch, but I have to say he's the first person that comes to mind when I see kids in...

It is a Polaroid, it's just in horrible shape - it's missing the top and left, which is why the bottom part looks folded over. I remember messing with those when I was a kid (well before I took preservation and conservation classes! I didn't know any better yet!), the plastic around the edges is...

Medical librarian here. I grabbed my copy of Smith's Recognizable Patterns of Human Malformation to see what other causes of micrognathia we might be dealing with. There are about 125 diagnoses where micrognathia occurs frequently, and about 30 where it occurs occasionally. A lot of these are...

They also have very affordable products - I got my son's diaper bag from ebags because it was big (we were cloth diapering) and everything was teflon coated and easily cleaned. I think it was only $20 or so, way cheaper than the ever-popular Petunia Picklebottoms

Looks like they sell it at Kmart.

They said the truck he was found in was rusted out.

Looks like he might be sleeping with the fishes.. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/4209085/Neighbour-who-ran-over-John-Gottis-son-was-dissolved-in-acid.html

This is an odd one. I guess his ID didn't check out. Not in DoeNetwork. https://identifyus.org/en/cases/11551 Estimated ageAdult - Pre 80 Minimum age75 years Maximum age75 years RaceWhite Ethnicity SexMale Weight (pounds)163, Measured Height (inches)69, Measured Upper and lower dentures

If you go to the NARA seattle website there is a link for hiring researchers. Many of these people have been doing this for years and years. We had several researchers where I worked, that did research for hire. I would also directly ask Seattle for the logbooks for the Tender Rose in RG 26.

Hmm, I doubt it's blocked because when I worked at a different NARA branch we would get requests from Canada and Europe frequently. Here's the contact info for Seattle. 6125 Sand Point Way NE Seattle, Washington, 98115-7999 Contact Information General Assistance: 206-336-5115 Fax: 206-336-5112...

Child mortality was still quite high back then. It's quite possible that Franklin could have died and the girl would have been born in 1943. She'd be on the 1950 census (not available to the public until 2022) but not the 1940.
