Oh Those Records

Oh those glorious records, they vex us, tantalize us, hide from us, but when we find them, oh do we dance. And then there are the ones we lost that we mourn.

A good listen...and I had no idea that there was a standard death certificate used across the country.

Think viral records are more accurate now than they were in the past? Think again. Maternal deaths may be inflated just due to a box someone can check...

Maternal mortality numbers in the U.S. have been overestimated, study shows : Shots - Health News https://t.co/dw1s1IocFF

@HenryLouisGates @PBS It was awesome! 😃

[Oh Those Records @RecordsThose]

This is fascinating. Imagine having databases of anonymous old pictures to search through and identify your ancestors. Of course real life implications are another thing....

I know there are some terrifying uses of this technology, but this will really amazing as it starts to work better https://t.co/2PNY03ANrH

@DSouza_Claudia @chiddickstree Beautiful and amazing!

[Oh Those Records @RecordsThose]

As a side note, @PhotoDetective do you see medical issues like goiters in old pictures very often? #familyhistory

[Oh Those Records @RecordsThose]

Ok seems off topic from genealogy, but...iodine deficiency and goiters almost certainly affected many of our ancestors. Do you know why salt has iodine in it? This is a good listen #Genealogy https://t.co/t0nxWhFuU9

Oh so awesome! #genealogy

[Oh Those Records @RecordsThose]

Ah, Archives..oh how I miss them.

[Oh Those Records @RecordsThose]

@Whoamiftr There's also this one. But I don't think it is complete either. https://t.co/xWKLgCCjid

[Oh Those Records @RecordsThose]

@Whoamiftr This database on @Ancestry has some. But there were other acts of Congress after 1858 that allowed bounty lands also...https://t.co/OYuPICKdDx

[Oh Those Records @RecordsThose]

@Whoamiftr Many people were given land farther west and then just assigned (sold) it to someone else. I have some people from Ohio like that.

[Oh Those Records @RecordsThose]

@Whoamiftr What about Bounty Land Warrant for his service? Veterans received these earlier than pensions.

[Oh Those Records @RecordsThose]

@Whoamiftr I don't think the applications are scanned yet. You would have to request them through NARA.

[Oh Those Records @RecordsThose]

@Whoamiftr These might just be the warrants themselves. I haven't looked at these files yet much. https://t.co/NVfhvWaFIs

Let's make some change @Ancestry !

Oh fun! Maybe this will help me with my relatives bootlegging in the 1920s.
