The One Thousandth Entry!

10/28/2015

0 Comments

 
In honor of the many volumes of genealogy he wrote more than 100 years ago, before there were computers, let alone an Internet, I selected Everett S. Stackpole as the 1000th entry on MayflowerFaces.com. Congratulations, Everett! More specifically, I selected his Billington entry, for reasons that students of Pilgrim history may recognize. I hope he was proud of all his Mayflower ancestors (the Billington family, Francis Eaton, Dr. Samuel Fuller, and Thomas Rogers.) Of his 4 lines, 1 (Rogers) was from the Leiden religious Separatist group. The rest were "Strangers."

And today is the feast of Sts. Simon and Jude (patron of hopeless causes.) I wasn't sure how hopeful to be when starting this web site 3 years ago but thank you, St. Jude, all you readers, my assistant webmaster, and everyone on the Good Ship Mayflower 395 years ago. I hope you all come back again and again, click on the ads while you're here, and send me a photo or two to post. Thank you!

Library of Congress photos on flickr

10/10/2015

Many of the sharper images on this site are public domain photos from the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. (Not all LOC images are in the public domain.) This may be old news to some, but for those of use who don't do flickr, the LOC has been digitizing thousands of images and is making them available in the "Flickr Commons" project. Scrolling down the front page casually, it looks like the collection is a mishmash of popular culture (early baseball), traditional history (Czar Nicholas), and "What's This Gadget?" It's not clear what you do if you know what the gadget is, or if they already know and this is a quiz. If you are more at home with flickr than the LOC site you can give it a try. There is a search option if you are looking for someone in particular.
