In the Family History Library here in Salt Lake City, they ask that you record the numbers of all the films you pull, a film census of sorts. So, I have been trying to remember to do so. The other day, I pulled all these films, except the first two, which I actually pulled the night before (they did not pick up my census report and I found it sitting on my reader of choice the next morning, so, I just kept adding numbers to it).
I was on the "images" trail again, trying to get digital copies of documents, birth, death, marriage, deeds, whatever I can grab. Sometimes the document is cause for happy dance, sometimes, bewilderment, sometimes your heart goes, ohhhhhhhhh, how sad. Here is a "how sad" that took my breath away.
I gasped when I read this poor baby had a temperature of 110 +, he must have been on fire.
*This child is the grandson of MOMM, "Mary of Many Marriages", Mary Lovely, or Mary Lasore/Lesoer/Luvly and about another dozen spellings and surnames.
