This one took an hour—because the person who did the first one on this tooth 10 years ago missed a root (branch) and used pins with a cement that resisted being removed. Got it, however, and am back on antibiotics. Sigh. <\/p>\n
On the genealogy front, I turn out to have some relatives with a whole national history I have not a clue about: Frisians. Lots of Frisians, from the 1300’s, whose names I’m having to look up because the spellings are nothing I’m familiar with. It’s out of a Dutch genealogy site, and sometimes I don’t know a title from a first name. Some are from Lower Saxony, some from the Netherlands, and I foresee a bit of fun figuring this all out. Seems there was some conflict in which many of them figured, and I’m about to learn about Frisia. I love genealogy. This is kind of ironic because I am VERY aware of my maternal great-great grandfather and that lot, out of New Amsterdam, but this is a whole new bunch who seem to have slid in sideways, from a marriage into that line once they had left New York…I don’t know what set of events caused a set of people with a Dutch background to settle in early Oklahoma, but I know that my mother’s father’s family was not the only one, because in my childhood, coping with the old crank-phone party line, there was, on the party line, a set of sisters who would hold great gossip sessions on line—in English, until they got to the good part, then change languages, so the language was still active in that area until the 1950’s. In such a small town as it was, people all knew each other, but my uncle never told me the sisters’ family name, and I wish now I’d asked. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
