When the gunpowder settled and the flags were folded, Revolutionary War soldiers had to return to lives that often looked nothing like the ones they'd left behind. For many veterans, survival during the war had been only half the battle. The other half was trying to get what was promised to them once peace had been declared. That's where the pension system came in — slowly, imperfectly, and full of red tape. But for family historians like us, those old paper trails can be a gift.

Every family has secrets. But some secrets are darker than others—and some leave behind headlines, scars, and a trail of records in their wake. Murder cases, unsolved crimes, public hangings, or even whispered suspicions didn't just mark the individual involved. They reshaped entire branches of the family tree. If you've ever come across an ancestor who vanished, changed their name, or whose family stopped mentioning them entirely, there's a chance something more serious was involved. And even if the person wasn't guilty, their name may have been dragged into scandal or tragedy, leaving behind a legacy that was deliberately erased—or quietly hidden in the pages of forgotten records. This final installment in the series explores how to trace ancestors connected to serious crimes, what kinds of records exist, and how to approach these discoveries with care, curiosity, and truth.

Podcast Notes   Episode 477 Who's Really In Charge Here? Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC Date: August 7th, 2025 In this episode, Brian and Chad explore how coaching principles can transform leadership within organizations. They discuss the tension leaders often feel between maintaining control and empowering others, and how adopting a coaching posture—rooted in humility, curiosity, and shared authority—can lead to more collaborative and impactful decision-making. The conversation draws on real experiences and offers insight into how coaching shapes not just conversations, but entire organizational cultures. Key Highlights: Coaching in leadership often involves navigating a tension between control and collaboration. Humility is central to a coaching posture and essential for effective leadership. Leaders frequently face pressure to have all the answers, but coaching invites shared exploration. The importance of slowing down in conversations to give space for others' thinking. Organizations may superficially embrace coaching while still defaulting to top-down, directive leadership styles. Takeaways: A true coaching posture prioritizes listening over telling and curiosity over certainty. Leadership is most transformative when it empowers others rather than asserting control. Shared authority doesn't mean giving up leadership—it means leading differently. Slowing down your responses and allowing others to process can create more meaningful and insightful conversations.

Not every crime makes headlines. In fact, many of the offenses found in old court records are small—petty theft, vagrancy, disturbing the peace, trespassing, or breaking local ordinances. These weren't the stuff of true crime novels, but they still mattered. They could lead to fines, jail time, social ruin, or even exile from a town or community. And sometimes, these seemingly minor offenses had ripple effects that changed the course of a family's story. If your ancestor disappeared from records, left town abruptly, or was labeled a “black sheep,” there's a good chance a petty crime was involved. These aren't always easy to find, but when you do, they offer an intimate glimpse into the lives of ordinary people navigating real pressures, often under hard conditions.

In most family trees, the women are harder to trace. They often changed names, had fewer legal rights, and were less likely to appear in records that followed property or voting. But court records—especially when women found themselves in trouble—can be some of the most detailed and revealing documents we have. Whether they were plaintiffs or defendants, women in court often left behind rare windows into their daily lives, hardships, and resilience. Some were victims of false accusations. Others were bold rulebreakers. And a few were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. If your family history research hasn't included looking for women in legal records, it's time to change that. The stories found there are sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes scandalous—but always human.

During the 1920s and early 1930s, a jug of illegal whiskey could change a family's fortune—or tear it apart. Whether your ancestors ran stills deep in the woods or simply served homemade brew at a quiet kitchen table, Prohibition touched nearly every community in America. The records left behind by this period—if you know where to look—reveal a time of defiance, desperation, and secret enterprise. And if you've got Southern, Appalachian, Midwestern, or even urban roots, there's a good chance someone in your family tree ran afoul of the law during this dry era. Let's take a closer look at the legacy of Prohibition, how moonshining worked, why so many people got involved, and how to uncover those stories in your own family history.

Born into poverty under a different name, Wilson rose from a boy bound out to farm labor to a man who held one of the highest offices in the land.

At first glance, the life of a photographer can seem almost magical—traveling the world, creating beautiful images, and having your work admired by others. But once you step behind the lens with serious intent, reality begins to set in. Photography is deeply rewarding, yes—but it's also filled with challenges that many outsiders never see. Whether you're building a business, pursuing art, or simply hoping to grow, you'll need to face these struggles head-on.

This postcard captures more than just a location. It holds a slice of New York City's vibrant nightlife in the early 1900s, frozen in time. Dozens of sharply dressed men and women fill every inch of the dining hall at Churchill's, a legendary supper club at the corner of Broadway and 49th Street. Their expressions vary—some smiling, some thoughtful, some lost in the moment. There's elegance, mystery, and a hum of excitement you can almost hear. When you look closely, you begin to wonder: Who were these people? What brought them there that night? Did any of them appear in your family tree? This is the kind of image that invites us not only to observe history, but to feel it—and maybe even find ourselves in it...

You know, something I've learned over the years—something that becomes clearer the more time I spend with a camera in hand—is that photography is just as much about relationships as it is about light, shadow, and subject matter.

Of all the jobs people avoided, feared, or whispered about, the gravedigger stood near the top of the list. Working in quiet corners of churchyards, behind iron fences, or in the shadows of city cemeteries, the gravedigger did work no one else wanted—making room for the dead and handling what came after. But for centuries, this job was a critical part of every community. It wasn't glamorous, and it certainly wasn't clean, but the people who did it kept burial grounds in order, protected public health, and honored the basic dignity of the dead. In this final part of our series on dirty jobs, we're going beneath the surface—literally—to explore the long, hard, and sometimes heartbreaking path of the gravedigger...

A large portion of my time is devoted not just to photography itself, but to something just as important: finding new places to create it. Scouting, for me, is part of the adventure. It's a little like being on a treasure hunt with your camera bag in the passenger seat and curiosity behind the wheel. And over the years, I've discovered a few ways to make that hunt easier, more enjoyable, and a whole lot more rewarding. Back when I first got serious about photography, I used to just hop in the car and drive with no particular plan. Sometimes, that spontaneous approach works. But more often than not, I'd come home with a few random shots and the nagging feeling that I had missed something better just around the bend. Today, I plan more deliberately—and it's made a big difference. Here are a few tips I've picked up along the way to help you make the most of your own scouting adventures...

Long before cities had garbage trucks and recycling centers, there were the rag-and-bone collectors—wandering figures with pushcarts, sacks, and sharp eyes trained on the gutters and alleys of the industrial world. These scavengers were among the earliest forms of organized waste management, turning trash into treasure in a time when nearly everything had some kind of second life. Though rarely respected in their time, these individuals were vital to the ecosystem of 18th- and 19th-century cities. Their work supplied raw materials to soap makers, glue manufacturers, paper mills, and even farmers. They lived on the fringes of society, but their role supported entire industries. In many families, rag-picking or bone collecting wasn't just a temporary job—it was a generational trade...

We heard Jesus and Paul rightly tell us the problem with legalistic prescriptions that made Sabbath day anything but honoring to God. But we failed to see the assumption lying behind Jesus (Matt 11:28-30), Paul (Acts 13, 17, 18), and Hebrews (4:9-11), that God-honoring people would value resting from work, to remember and honor God as the sole creator and sustainer of our lives.The sermon today is titled "The Habit of Sabbath." It is the seventeenth installment in our series "Follow Me", and the fourth in the sub-series "Spiritual Habits." The Scripture reading is from Matthew 11:28-30 (ESV).

You know, one of the hardest things about being a creative person—whether you're into photography or painting or writing—is motivation. Just getting started. I can't tell you how many times I've had every excuse in the book. I'm not feeling inspired. I don't have the right gear. There's no time. The light's wrong. You name it. But if I'm being honest, those are just that—excuses. Life's busy, sure, and things pop up. But most of the time, it's not that something is actively standing in the way.

The stereotypical image of the artist is someone who spends a large part of their life not producing anything. Then, when the inspiration strikes, the artist goes to work, spontaneously producing works of art. The artist finally had the exact right sequence of thoughts. Whatever the case is, the work is something that just came to them, spur of the moment. Photographers often have a mental image of the inspired artist. It is sometimes even stronger because people assume that all a photographer must do is keep pushing that shutter button. Eventually, something magical happens. In a fit of inspiration, the photographer figures out the method to create the perfect piece of art. With a few quick snaps, the job is done. Nevertheless, that isn't how artworks. Any art, not just photography, but painting, writing and so forth. More often than not, the greatest works are those that took the most time. They are the works that the artist spent days, weeks, or even years producing. In photography, a lot of that time is time spent waiting. Thinking, digesting, and letting ideas coalesce and grow. What's more, there are several points throughout the photographic process where you should find the time to wait. Let the image percolate in your mind. Give yourself the time to forget about it just enough so that you can look at an image more critically. Let me show you the three stages of the photographic process where I find myself simply waiting and thinking...

Of all the historical occupations that could be found in a family tree, few were more pungent, more physically difficult, or more socially isolating than tanning. While farmers, blacksmiths, and even coal miners occupied central places in their communities, the tanner often worked on the outskirts—literally and figuratively. Tanning was essential to everyday life, producing the leather needed for clothing, shoes, belts, saddles, bookbinding, harnesses, and more. But because of how it was done—using rotting flesh, animal brains, and gallons of urine—it was also one of the filthiest and most unpleasant jobs in history. Yet, for centuries, it was vital. Leather was life: warm, durable, flexible, and necessary. And the people who made it weren't forgotten in the records, even if they were avoided in the streets.

Today we bring you the second of our three part series taking a close look at celebrity media host Piers Morgan and his show Uncensored. Viewed by millions daily, Uncensored has focused intensely on the Israel-Hamas war, Israel-Iran war, and really pretty much all things related to Israel. Somewhat unceasingly. In this interview with Lee Kern, we get into his thoughts on why Uncensored is not just unbalanced but does not even qualify as a serious news or political program. Lee's insights and comments are sharp, incisive and unsparing. He lives the reality of post October 7 life in Israel – based in Tel Aviv – and has strong views on Piers and his show – which are also set out in two long X posts he wrote on June 4. You can read those in the Podcast Notes, as well as Morgan's cheeky response. The issues raised by Lee Kern are serious. We should all be concerned about what passes for media and the fact that independent media are held to no standards of accountability – just ratings. And yes. That is a problem. A very big problem. Have a listen.State of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

Their first request was on November 1st 2023 - three weeks after the muslim terrorists Hamas raped and kidnapped hostages. I declined and have done ever since. Their most recent request was this April. The reason why I declined is because of something Piers tweeted in those early days of the war started by Hamas. Whilst we in Israel and the Jewish world were grieving - real grief - because people had been raped, people had been murdered, people had been kidnapped - women, children and babies - whilst we were doing this Piers Morgan was boasting. He was celebrating. He was celebrating how well his viewing figures were doing in his episodes talking about the massacre. “Six million” he bragged in one of his tweets. At the time I glibly I said to myself, “I'm glad someone's doing well out of the rape and kidnaps.” But it truly was despicable and it really gets to the heart of the man. He has no real moral code or value system other than attention. He's an archetypal, soulless media w***e. His show is not designed to illuminate. It is to simply create a freak-show of vapid conflict that appeals to people who simply want a verbal fistfight. Pigs fighting in s**t is Piers' idea of journalism. In truth he knows what he does isn't journalism. At best he might think what he does is entertainment. But it isn't that either. It's simply shitting excrement into public discourse. And the reasonable and legitimate outrage people feel when s**t is pumped into conversations that have real life or death ramifications - Piers - in his misplaced pride - will mistake - or pretend to mistake - for a journalistic job well done. None the less, when his people first wrote to me i thought maybe i could guide Piers into doing some real journalism that would allow the public to weigh up primary evidence for themselves.I replied: “I can't speak this week. Also I don't think I should be a priority. I'm very much in favour of letting people directly affected be pushed to the front of the conversation. Yesterday I met a lady in Sderot who is probably the most perfect and energetic guest Piers could ever engage with - and she was directly in the middle of a battle that lasted 36 hours.” This opportunity to provide viewers with primary evidence and a firsthand account of the massacre didn't happen. There was no serious interest in understanding this conflict. I imagine this applies to any other topic that might be covered. Persistent, his people tried to get me on the show again a few days later. I replied: “I know you're keen to have me. I'm doing something unfashionable that maybe lots of people don't do anymore: I've come here to actually see where the atrocities happened for myself and to speak to survivors so I'm not just some random internet guy mouthing off. Please let me know when you've spoken to ——-. I've told her you will be in touch. I don't want to give her false hope because she's someone who has been part of horrific things and is grieving for her community. Please don't let me be involved in adding to her roller coaster” It didn't happen. His people wrote to me again a few days later to try and get me on the show. I continued to believe that if the public were to be illuminated, then the testimony of an actual survivor was more important than my opinions. So I replied firmly: “What happened with ——- appearing on the show? She's a clear coherent voice who experienced a massacre first hand. Her entire community are now refugees spread across a country. You should be interviewing her.” His team replied: “We couldn't make it work, we've lots of guests and little time alas. Keen to have you on.”I replied:“Why couldn't it work? She's still alive. What's tangibly preventing you from getting her on this week or next? She's an eloquent real person who has been in a massacre and continues to be affected by what you want to report on.“ They ignored this. “Lots of guests and little time?” Well here I was offering to step back to give them a real story. But they weren't interested. They wanted me because I say the words “s**t” and “f**k” and have a comedy background that allows me to be engagingly garish. I'm self aware. I own what I do. But I still seemed to have more of a journalistic value system than Piers and his team and still seemed to believe education and illumination on this horrible situation was more important than just getting on high octane personalities who would argue so that Piers could get more attention and money. And yet again, a few weeks later, they requested me on as a guest. And they sent me eight more requests over the following months that I didn't reply to. So I'll wind this up by saying Piers Morgan isn't going to make or break what happens in this conflict. It won't end until the Islamic fundamentalists Hamas release the hostages and their jihadist tyranny over the population of Gaza - which has included control over their food supply - ends. Finally, seeing as Piers Morgan has shown himself to be demonstrably thin skinned and I'll most likely be blocked by him if he sees this, I may as well finish on the most important point. This is what society knows. This is what even his viewers know. And it's worth us stating even though it's a given: The most objectionable and off putting thing about any Piers Morgan show is Piers Morgan and the poorly crafted simulation of a personality that he has constructed for himself. Piers Morgan as a human being is so very clearly, and so very palpably, a bloviating toad. You couldn't put together a less charming conglomeration of DNA in the rough approximate shape of a human being. He is a slimy bog creature.A toadstool dwelling peasant, high on the methane emitted from his own arsehole. More prolapsed rectum than a man, his anus of a mouth emits half digested ideas like loose excremental sludge. He is a sloshing barrel of smugness and pus. Every pore in his bloated face oozes misplaced arrogance. Misplaced because nothing about his presentation or content merits any kind of pride.In short, ladies and gentlemen, Piers Morgan is a man who can only be described as the Manchester United of c***s.* Piers Morgan's riposte to Lee Kern's post.* Profile of Lee Kern published on May 24, 2025, on ynetnews.com* Lee Kern's Substack - check it out. leekern.substack.comState of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

As the United States marks its 249th year of independence, it's a fitting time to pause and reflect—not just on fireworks and parades, but on the remarkable clarity of vision held by those who signed their names to the cause of liberty. These were men who risked everything—their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor—not for gain, but for the enduring hope of a free and virtuous republic. Their words, written in the heat of war and the uncertainty of revolution, are more than historical relics. They are guideposts. Warnings. Encouragements to stay the course. And when we take time to read them with fresh eyes, we realize how much they still matter...

Coal built the modern world. It powered trains, lit homes, fueled factories, and kept furnaces burning during the coldest winters. But that power came at a steep cost. For every train that ran and every hearth that glowed, miners were working deep underground, chipping away at rock, swallowing dust, and risking their lives with every shift. Mining was one of the most dangerous and physically demanding jobs your ancestors could have held. For many, it wasn't just a job—it was the only option. In coal towns scattered across America and Europe, mining was a way of life. Children were born into it, men grew old doing it, and women ran households that depended on it...

Before the comforts of indoor plumbing and municipal sewage systems, someone had to do the dirty work. And by dirty, we mean truly revolting. The Night Soil Man was the one tasked with removing human waste from privy pits, outhouses, and cesspools—usually under cover of darkness when the smell might be slightly less offensive and when the public eye wouldn't witness the mess. The term "night soil" refers to human excrement that was collected before the days of flushing toilets. It piled up in backyard outhouses, chamber pots, and cesspools beneath tenement buildings and homes. Cities were packed with people, but sewage systems were almost nonexistent or in their earliest forms. This meant that a whole class of workers existed solely to shovel out and haul away human waste...

As we continue our journey through The Forgotten Seconds, we pause to examine the life of Schuyler Colfax—a name once associated with optimism, eloquence, and the future of the Republican Party. He was Vice President under Ulysses S. Grant, a former Speaker of the House, and one of the most prominent political figures of his time. But Colfax's career was later marred by scandal, and his name, once linked to presidential potential, was swept away in the tide of changing political winds. Let's step back into his world and uncover the story of the man who stood beside a general turned president and nearly charted a course for the White House himself...

As we continue our series, The Forgotten Seconds, we take a closer look at those vice presidents who, despite standing one heartbeat away from the highest office, never became president themselves. Today's spotlight is on Hannibal Hamlin, Abraham Lincoln's first vice president—a name that once carried national significance but has since faded from common memory. Hamlin's life tells the story of New England grit, political courage, and quiet conviction in a turbulent era...

I found this old postcard the other day, and something about it pulled me right in. It shows a dimly lit room, heavy with shadow and curiosity. There's a man standing with a bird—maybe a parrot—perched on his arm. A woman leans against the back bar. You can just make out a bartender. There's a large wooden chest in the corner, chains hanging from the wall, and rough-hewn beams that look like they've seen more than a century of stories. This isn't just a bar. It's something else. It feels like a set from a play, or maybe a place where the curtain never fully drops. That's when I knew—I was looking at a piece of history from New York's old Pirate's Den...
