So the Republican Party has historically blocked:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave

I remember being told as a child that he was a cousin, but I don't remember his name. And there is no one left from that generation to tell me. So when you have questions about your family history, ask, before it's too late.
Betsy, I would issue a plea to preserve every old photograph you have. Our technology will continue to advance in the ability to recognize faces of people in old pictures. I'm not an expert, but I predict that eventually machine learning will be able to correlate disparate scraps of information, enabling identification of the people in a picture of our great grandparents' yard party in 1900, or whatever. I've been working on genealogy for several years, and I have pictures of people that my Mom…
Thank you for this encouragement. There has been a fair amount of genealogy work on my mother's side of the family, but none that I know of on my father's, and I think that the picture that I referred to is on his side, since nobody has been able to identify it.
