But most directories contain residents from multiple locales. In this instance, Ojai is indexed but Port Hueneme is where the person lived. #ancestrytips #genealogy https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/2469/images/32701_1020601537_1204-00434?pId=141228765615 Mar 2026 20:39 +0000at://did:plc:exd2b66lbndwdklr2yv7xkbn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mh4sgmadhc2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/patsbluesky.bsky.social/post/3mgsln2zmt22nWhen you add a Find a Grave family group, maiden names can be "lost".

It's a nightmare. The photo has to be on your tree. Fine. Then you either have to scour every photo you've ever uploaded or scroll through the names of every person who has an attached photo. Not good. #ancestrytips #genealogy08 Mar 2026 07:49 +0000at://did:plc:exd2b66lbndwdklr2yv7xkbn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgju4tq7v224https://bsky.app/profile/patsbluesky.bsky.social/post/3mgfx5dmfm22oA remarkably important speech. Stubb tells the Raisins conference that the world order has been shaken. It's not destroyed but requires a reset. He puts more confidence in India than I would, but there are values to be found in nonalignment. Certainly the UNSC P5 needs a tweak.

It's hard to make Cuba, Venezuela and Iran appear persecuted, but Trump and his henchmen are making them seem like sympathetic figures. What's going on? Covert action off Cuba? It's like a made for tv movie.
