PANDEMICS OVER TIME Trove Tuesday 27th Sept 2022

* see credit at end of post

There have been a number of pandemics/plagues over the centuries.. all with various outcomes as to the number of deaths and permanent symptoms. Thankfully, in these times, we are mostly united as to how to overcome these throughout the world, albeit with varying results.

The following articles are just a small selection.. we may still complain, but we live in a time with far better results re care than ever before.. partially as a result of better communication and medical knowledge, but also with the dedication of all who have worked so very hard to care for those who became ill and to protect all they can.

We will be forever thankful to each and every one of you.

MEMORIES OF CORONATION CELEBRATIONS

As the world farewells the longest reigning monarch in the history of the United Kingdom, I couldn't help but recall the celebrations that had our whole small town involved in what seemed to a small girl, the biggest event ever. It was even bigger than Guy Fawkes night, very exciting to everyone in town. If you click on the heading above, you can read the post I wrote some time back...

Rest in Peace

Queen Elizabeth II

You have set an example that will be hard to follow.

UNCLAIMED MONEY Trove Tuesday 13th Sept 2022

Are any of your ancestors mentioned in the list below?

I wonder how many of those listed actually claimed the money involved. Perhaps they did claim and it changed their lives.

Before you ask, I doubt that any unclaimed money would still be available now, some over a hundred years later...still, it's always interesting to see our ancestors names mentioned and wonder...
