8-year-old Różyczka Goździewska, the youngest nurse in the Warsaw Uprising. She helped as an assistant in the field hospital, bringing water to the injured, chasing away flies and serving as a source of happiness. She didn't have any training but she did what she could.
She survived the war and went on to graduate from the Silesian University of Technology.

Ann Elizabeth Hodges, the only person recorded to have been hit by a meteorite, in 1954. She survived 🌠
Ann Hodges was just napping on her couch at her home in Alabama on November 30, 1954, when an 8.5 pound meteorite crashed through her roof, bounced off her radio console and then hit her torso.
The meteorite that hit Hodges was a piece of a much larger rock that broke in two as it hurdled towards the Earth. The piece that didn't hit Hodges landed a few miles away and now it can be seen in the National Museum of National History

Quickly scrolling through the images, I thought this was another Hunter Biden picture (put in as a joke). I had to scroll back up.
Great post......thanks for that.
Of interest was Stanin’s scuffed up boot.
I respectfully disagree. It is absolutely Elizabeth, and what a stunning beauty she was then and a vintage beauty she is today.
I’m at a loss. Some kind of slip on? They’re definitely not lacked and I can’t see a buckle. Maybe some kind of clasp underneath where the laces would be might explain that shape there
According to Chinese/Japanese medical [3] face reading, when the white part of the eye, known as the sclera, is visible beneath the iris, it represents physical imbalance in the body and is claimed to be present in alcoholics, drug addicts, and people who over-consume sugar or grain.[4] Conversely, when the upper sclera is visible it is said to be an indication of mental imbalance in people such as psychotics, murderers, and anyone rageful. In either condition, it is believed that these people attract accidents and violence.[2]
August 1963, George Ohsawa, an advocate for macrobiotics, predicted that President John F. Kennedy would experience great danger because of his sanpaku condition.[5][6]
In 1965, Ohsawa, assisted by William Dufty, wrote You Are All Sanpaku, which offers the following perspective on the condition: For thousands of years, people of the Far East have been looking into each other's eyes for signs of this dreaded condition. Any sign of sanpaku meant that a man's entire system — physical, physiological and spiritual — was out of balance. He had committed sins against the order of the universe and he was therefore sick, unhappy, insane, what the West has come to call "accident prone". The condition of sanpaku is a warning, a sign from nature, that one's life is threatened by an early and tragic end.[2] According to Ohsawa, this condition could be treated by a macrobiotic diet emphasizing brown rice and soybeans.[2]
Beautiful pics.
Peruse later.
I haven’t tried it yet. So much new stuff/new 1950 census, and some days, I’m getting 10-24 new ancestors, at least 2-3rd cousin levels.
Also, I recently had problems seeing the data on my chromebook. Finally, I complained and in a few minutes, I could scroll up/down or right/left.
We were going to get the DNA test for my wife. She has some really into it genealogy cousins, and one of her cousins added her DNA to her husband’s profile. Now, they can’t keep up with the downloads. Some hot and heavy breeders back a hundred plus years with 12-20 children. Then, their kids had 6 or more kids and even recent people with 3-4 kids.
So some of the ginger hair for the current useless royals apparently came from Queen Elizabeth.

Thank you
Yeah... when I’m looking at some of my ancestor’s families, I’m thinking:’that’s not a family, it’s a tribe.’ I’m really enjoying studying genealogy, it gives you a good perspective on history... puts you ‘in the stream’ so to speak.
Impressive indeed.

My current tribal count: 29,454 people

What is interesting to me are the “new” cousins/aunts/uncles and even grandparents, we are adding due to the 1950 census.
Apparently, with my tribes, there was a lot of migrations of relatives/Americans after the Civil War up to and after the depression.
It appears that these migrating tribal members often lost track of each other during that 9 decade era.
Early during that time period telephones were not there and people depended on the mail to communicate.
My mother and one of her sisters could type as fast as they could talk and one of their first cousins was a good family record keeper. So they typed a semi annual Christmas Genealogy newsletter. Copy machines were not in vogue then, so. Fortunately, one of my first cousins got a lot of that info into a genealogy format. I still have the decades old data on our common ancestors.
A couple of my wife’s relatives put together basically a book of a few families. They lived in the midwest, were connected with farming. They often lived in died in small geographical areas. I used the data for my wife’s aunts and uncles and cousins back 3-4 generations.
Often the same first and second names were often used across the generations. They were born, grew up and married a local and repeated the process until they died.
I sent the book back to some of her relatives as neither of us really got into that heritage besides people she actually knew.
Besides having a heritage interest, I believe that our DNA will play an incredible increasing role in our healthcare, life style and longevity.
My mother, her mother,sisters and female cousins all lived well into their 80’s/90’s. The men barely made it to 70. That has reversed with this generation. My male cousins are all in their 80’s and we are active. Only a sibling sister and one female cousin made it past their early 70’s.
Enjoy your genealogy!
