#OTD 9 April. Two brothers, cousins to my grandmother, shared a birthday. Henry Martini was born in 1863, in St. Louis, Missouri. Eugene Martini was born in Centralia, Illinois, in 1874. Their lives were very different. Henry went into mining and eventually become a coal mine superintendent. He and his wife had 15 children and many descendants who are DNA matches. Eugene, a retail salesman, married twice, losing a wife and daughter to early deaths. Two children grew to adulthood and one had children. So far no DNA matches to his branch have been found. #genealogy

#OTD 14 March 1955, Esstella Margaret Crispen Pitcher, age 55, died in Benton Harbor, Michigan. I have always wished that I had known this sweet sister of my grandmother. All I know of her is through the family photos and stories. Esstella had scarlet fever as a child and was fragile throughout her life. She married Henry Pitcher and they had one daughter. Henry died two years before Esstella. Both were gone too soon. https://scrappinmyhistory.blogspot.com/2018/09/a-favorite-photo-52-ancestors.html #genealogy

Apparently, women have _always_ liked a bit of rough when it comes to mating... #Genetics #HumanGenetics #Genealogy #Science https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/feb/26/male-neanderthals-human-females-mating-research-dna-genetics?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb

The oldest relative I have directly traced in my family tree is Walter Chambers, who was born in 1486 in Midlothian, Scotland. He married Alice Elizabeth Bishop in 1511. #Genealogy #History

#OTD 31 January 1815, Brita Kajsa Jönsdotter died just before her 14th birthday. She was the middle of three children born in Stora Malm parish, Södermanland, to a soldier who died in the Napoleonic Wars. Brita and her older brother, Pehr, my ancestor, were sent away to live in the neighboring parish of Östra Vingåker, with their aunts and uncles. Brita was the second of six children who died of measles in the parish in 1815. Sadly, her younger brother, Claes Jonas, died exactly three years later when at age 12 he was crushed by a coal cart (kolryss photo linked below). #genealogy https://jlm.kulturhotell.se/objects/c60-180219/?cat=53527&offset=2
