Yesterday I was very busy researching in the deeds, library records and probate records of Suffolk County, NY. I actually had to use the card catalog because… those still exist!

I cannot wait to tell you about the Bahamas case I am working on. It is truly fascinating!!!

✨ Did you know that in 1801 a widow named Catherine Lyver lived at 18 Cliff Street, across from St. George’s Chapel in Manhattan? Her home had a kitchen hidden underground beneath the yard—a fascinating glimpse into old New York life. I can’t help but wonder… could it still be buried under today’s Financial District? 🗝️🏙️

I had dinner tonight with an 80-something who was telling me how he wished he had asked his older family members questions about his family while they were alive. My advice to everyone is to ask the questions now. While you can. Because if the stories aren’t written down, they could be lost forever.

Did you know the U.S. once had orange and blue food stamps? 🟠🔵

The Food Stamp Plan launched in 1939 to fight both hunger and farm surpluses. By 1941, families were stretching their food budgets with stamp booklets — a program that eventually grew into today’s SNAP, which now supports over 40 million Americans every month.

From surplus butter to EBT cards, the story of food stamps is one of resilience, adaptation, and food security. 🍞🇺🇸
