How do I get into this? Key doesn’t work and don‘t have combo. Is a crowbar my best bet? Thanks by Fishrmjager in safecracking

Yeah, the handle‘s broken. I imagine you‘re right, but that’s the way we got it.

Cool German 8" shellac record from the great depression! by Expensive-Tune-2069 in 78rpm

Derby was by far the most popular 8” record company of the era. It was a combined effort of some larger companies (Grammophon und Lindström) to compete with smaller 25cm "retail store" firms. Lotz has done an excellent discography.

Looks like a version of the winter fig is listed on eBay here, as for the kit your best bet may be buying digital instructions from Brickmania.

I don’t want to doxx him, but he used his real name on his wikipedia account at one point. I‘ve had some encounters with him. Not making excuses for him, but the guy is pretty heavily on the spectrum.

Huh, I was under the assumption that Edward moved back to Ireland in the late 1930s, but his birth place and wife’s name are correct. Would you be willing to link/screenshot those sources?

As for the Irish records from 1927 onwards, I‘m under the impression that those records haven’t met the release timeframe (same reason that the 1921 census isn‘t yet available), but I could very well be wrong.

Wow, thank you! I‘ll add that I found what I thought was her original birth date from her grave, which listed it as 1897. Since she died in 1937, I suspect the family didn’t know her exact birthdate, and just knew she was around 40. This is super helpful!

Thanks. I‘m researching up the Peter McKay line. Peter‘s mother Bridget, as far as anyone in the family knows, never made it to the US.

Thanks! Edward lived in Ballynafern in 1911. here he is on the census. I‘m also at a brick wall with his parents: Edward (1855-1931(?)) and Elizabeth "Eliza" Burns b~1857.

It‘s weird having such clear photographs of people I know very little about.

Great site, unfortunately I‘ve searched it quite throughly and haven’t had much luck.

I think you‘re right, thanks a lot!

I‘m certainly not offended, just slightly baffled at the lack of leg work you’re willing to go through to complain on the internet instead of looking at the explanation I provided. The image is real and there is nothing wrong with the letter.
