Nah, only if you pay for Club 1890. 😜

But, tightly sealed?

If you were a major genealogical website and one of your jobs was to make digital copies of historical sources available online and you were digitising a major national collection of wills would you:

a) check that they were all there or
b) not bother so much

Guess which option Ancestry went for...

Oh yes, Caruch More is the same place as the first obit in this thread: Carrickmore in County Tyrone.

I've found Philadelphia newspapers particularly good because it's such an Irish city. Many obituaries/death notices contain the Irish parish or townland which is SO helpful.

Although this one made me laugh. "Caruch More, Ireland"

Merriam-Webster publishes a new dictionary. It’s a jab to AI and a reminder of actual intelligence. - The Boston Globe The new edition might remind people that a physical book from a source with a two-century-old pedigree might be more trustworthy than a random search.

Me in the @bostonglobe.com on @merriam-webster.com's new actual physical book 12th edition of its Collegiate dictionary: "the bound book as safe harbor at a time of existential peril from our increasingly pervasive AI overlords"

Feel better soon, Allie.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

My team isn't in, so I don't have skin in the game. I cannot EVER root for the Dodgers.
