Peter J Fullagar 🌈I had a lovely surprise yesterday for my <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FamilyHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FamilyHistory</a> research. On my way out, I saw a large envelope in the communal hallway and it had my name on. On the back, it was from the Canadian archives. On opening, there was a letter saying thanks for my request from March 2022, here was the information I’d requested. I’d completely forgotten I’d made the request.Inside were photocopies of the military records of my grandfather! My mum had been wanting these for years and now we’ve finally got them. Absolutely amazing. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Ancestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ancestry</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#genealogy</a>

AnneTheWriterThere is an excellent <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Obituary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Obituary</a> for <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/CharlieKirk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CharlieKirk</a> going viral on social media. As someone who enjoys <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Genealogy</a>, I've read more than a few obituaries, so I added a bit of my own text to it: "Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University campus event, just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian Nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he co-founded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement. Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father Robert, also a prolific right-wing donor who was involved in the construction of Trump Tower. After being rejected by West Point, Kirk attended only one semester at Chicago-area Harper College before dropping out when the classwork got too difficult for him. In May 2021, he married Wella-blonde Erika Frantzve, a fellow podcaster. Since his death, she has done her best to monetize and mourn his passing by making as many appearances as possible on TV news and on other podcasts. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct.He had children, as do many vile people."<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TurningPointUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TurningPointUSA</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ThoughtsAndPrayers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThoughtsAndPrayers</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Memoriam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Memoriam</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MAGA</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MAGAviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MAGAviolence</a>
