History (particularly about Downers Grove) and all things genealogy are my curent passions.

@azurerobinson @WikiTreers That was a blast. Still don't understand discord, though.

@TheMasters I'll be forwarding this to my wife. Perhaps we can have this at the same time.

@bobcozzi My free 30 days are almost up. Waiting to see exactly what goes away. I really hate that subscription model thing.

@bobcozzi @LinkedIn That image of the command line screen is oddly calming.

@DLGenealogist @FamilySearch Just used a microfilm reader last week to go through local newspapers here in town that that have not been digitized.

[Marty Acks @martyacks]

@DLGenealogist Yes. In 1894. Very interesting we are just the 4th owners

[Marty Acks @martyacks]

Ahh. A nice bit of live Chapin family music... from Canada!

[Marty Acks @martyacks]

@dgnbands My family heard the music from the band camp today (day 4) from the funeral home. As we stepped outside, around 9:45am we think we heard "Used To Be My Girl" by the O'Jays. Was that it? Or is there a playlist from that time of the morning?. Thx for the nice moment!

[Marty Acks @martyacks]

@LakeCountyLib @geneajourney It helps to have a unique name. I have acquired a 1920 bank calendar and a 1903 or so grade school graduation card for some family members for a reasonable price.

@marksology Deeper look showed a NortonLIfeLock plugin flags this. No issue with url shorteners. Another browser w/o the Norton plugin is fine with this site.

Kenneth, btw thanks for sharing the individual library links and elephind were fine & very helpful.

@tomchapinmusic Looking forward to this concert in a couple hours remembering 40 years since Harry’s passing.

[Marty Acks @martyacks]

For my Harry Chapin fans this sounds interesting.

@DLGenealogist Parent and grand uncle.

[Marty Acks @martyacks]

@DLGenealogist @VRHistorians The oldest relative I can vaguely remember was my great (or grand) uncle. He was born in 1877. He passed away when I was 8 in 1965. I used to spend time at his farm near Arthur, Illinois when I was small boy.
