WikiTree is collaborative work. Which means it often goes in circles or dead ends, but it’s a group of dedicated genealogists who will often put entire surname books into the tree. Great support and interactions.
Another suggestion that I use extensively is newspaper archive subscriptions. Every year or so I go through all the NYC and lower NY newspapers from 1775 to 1830. Big into horse thieving, studs, buying rags for newsprint, etc. They reprint a lot of government papers, so you’ll see articles about Washington and all the names you know. YOU WERE THERE!
But you can search the country by date and location. Just have to be really inventive in your spelling because newspaper reporters seem to always spell the names wrong, or do creative abbreviations.
Haikus don’t have to have the exact amount of syllables - frequently impossible when translating anyway. The right number of syllables is a perfect haiku.
It's so brilliant I need shades.
I’m with you both. I have fun there and can filter out the crap. I love the rawness of the information and patriotism. It re minds me of the Revolution tavern meetings. But there’s a lot of stuff to scroll past on the site that more genteel FReepers may not want to indulge themselves with.
Yea, but does it bring all the boys to the yard?

Trump suggests sending 15,000 troops to border
Birthright citizenship; caravan; no more catch and release

McCain DOWN. Ryan BOOTED.
Now, if the HOUSE side will drop the FRAT Boy order of selection, and just elect Jim Jordan, then they can send McCarthy to the school curb, and we could be in business, I pray.
Bummer that RINO ROMNEY is on his way in, solely to make trouble for Pro-American Republicans.
Ya, I too have worried about that for a while. It makes me lews worried that if little old us are worried, then our boys in in uniform are worried too.
They got this.

Up to 15,000 US troops could deploy to US-Mexico border, Trump says
The President spoke briefly to reporters outside the White House on Wednesday where he said well go up to anywhere between 10 and 15,000 military personnel on top of Border Patrol, ICE and everybody else at the border, the Associated Press reported.
“JUST IN: Days before midterms, Pres. Trump says militarys border mission could increase to 15,000 troops.
As far as the caravan is concerned, our military is out. We have about 5,000 well do up to anywhere between 10 and 15,000 military personnel. https://t.co/a5rqJgAZlm pic.twitter.com/ckn3iSdJ2T

Such a number of troops is comparable to the number of troops currently deployed to Afghanistan.
President Trump called the U.S.-bound migrant caravan heading through Mexico very dangerous.
“In Q&A before leaving WH, Pres called the migrant caravans very dangerous. He said theres 5,800 troops on the border now and the number could be increased to between 10 and 15 thousand. Were not allowing people to come in, he said of the caravans. pic.twitter.com/KOWqnsZXCe

There are approximately 5,800 troops currently at the border in preparation to block the migrant caravans attempts to enter the U.S.
The caravan is comprised of an estimated 7,000 migrants mostly from Honduras. It is currently about 1,000 miles from the border.
Were not allowing people to come in, President Trump said.
“Heres Trumps full answer he just gave to reporters on the WH lawn, where he suddenly dropped that there could be up to 15,000 troops deployed to the border, says hes not fear mongering at all followed by theyll be here fast, Theyre trying to get up any way they can. pic.twitter.com/tCTqOvDj9y

Some have criticized the measure of deploying troops, calling it a stunt.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis pushed back against the notion on Wednesday, telling reporters at the Pentagon, We dont do stunts in this department.
Earlier this month, Trump warned that he would call up the U.S. military to close the U.S.-Mexico border if the migrant caravan was not stopped.
In addition to stopping all payments to these countries, which seem to have almost no control over their population, I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER! he tweeted at the time.

Not to be argumentative, but I think the Saxons culturally appropriated it from the original inhabitants of Britain the Britons.
