100 years ago today... 17-year-old "Jazz Slayer" Dorothy Ellingson spent the 1st of April being tried for her mother's murder in San Francisco. Her family members blamed jazz and the clubs Dorothy frequented. San Francisco police officers even rounded up local jazz musicians for questioning. Ultimately, Dorothy was convicted and jazz was acquitted.

The phrase of the day is "porcine depredations." The people of Cedar Falls, Iowa had some pretty big fish to fry... or, eh, pigs to pen, we suppose?

If you're assuming this was from an uneventful period in history, you may be surprised that it's actually from an 1862 edition of the Cedar Falls Gazette. But not to worry; this was just a page 3 mention. The front page astutely declared "There is a War."

Anyone else enjoy a Sunday afternoon exploring your family tree? Today I am researching ancestors from the area of Magorban civil parish in County Tipperary, Ireland. This particular branch of my family has roots in the tiny countryside townlands of Mobarnane, Ballyvadin, and Fethard. ~Cheers, Melinda

Where is your Sunday taking you??

We absolutely love these photos of a group of sisters going out on the town in Ontario, Canada, circa 1910. They were a fabulous addition to our client's family tree!

What will we discover for you?
