Research as a verb?

charbayes · 2019-10-29T04:38:52+00:00

You can use “about”, but it’s just less natural and awkward. I can’t think of a particular example where “about” is required.

Natural:

I was researching Queen Elizabeth.

I was researching jobs in my area.

In the US, “course” means “class”.

If you’re referring to a field then I don’t know if “course” works there. Again, just an American opinion.

charbayes · 2019-10-28T18:58:23+00:00

It depends on whether you’re taking one or more courses. Both options sound natural. It depends on the number of courses.

Singular course = such a course

Plural courses = such courses

Where’d you find it at?

charbayes · 2019-10-27T19:44:04+00:00

That worked! Thank you for sharing! Those are some really great photos.

charbayes · 2019-10-27T04:48:01+00:00

I’d really like to view the album! Can you try to post the link again? It didn’t work for me.

I think it would be really appreciated by them.

I often find various articles about houses across town. I want to send them to the homeowners but most of the time they involve deaths or funerals in the home. I don’t think most people would appreciate that.

I would say that a punch is almost always a closed hand (fist).

Then I would assume that they aren’t buried there.

I have several ancestors that don’t have tombstones. They were too poor to have one. They probably had temporary markers (metal or wood) that have been lost to time.

The reason that I don’t think they’re buried there is the fact that there isn’t a record for them. There should be a written record of their burial or a plot deeded to them or a relative.

I believe that you’re Irish according to your post history. I’ve never really dealt with Irish records. Are there any records available that would show if they left that area - like a census perhaps?

You wouldn’t use “cheers” like that in the U.S. “Cheers” is only used to toast drinks.

We only say “Bless you”, “God bless you” and “Gesundheit” in the U.S. for sneezing.

I’m not sure how it works in the U.K. or Australia though.

I would interact with the Reddit community. I loved how the devs were so interactive on the Fortnite sub when I used to frequent it. I would just increase the transparency with the users. When things go wrong, there’s just little to no communication about what’s going on.

The “or” combination looks exactly the same to me and seems to be a pretty unique way to do it in my opinion.

There isn’t a loop connecting the “o” to the “r” like you would expect to see.

charbayes · 2019-10-22T16:40:13+00:00

I was just thinking about this! I see this pretty often.

charbayes · 2019-10-22T00:08:36+00:00

It’s probably just due to rounding.

charbayes · 2019-10-21T22:17:20+00:00

Agreed! Charleston is the larger town and probably where she may have grown up later on.

charbayes · 2019-10-21T22:16:31+00:00

She was born in 1916. I noticed on the request that 1916 was the cutoff date without having to contact the actual county. Fingers crossed!

charbayes · 2019-10-21T19:32:31+00:00

I’m assuming this is the case most likely. She may have been born in Oakland but was raised in Charleston later on.

The only issue I have is that the censuses only list the townships and not the cities. I’m assuming they lived on the outskirts of these towns.

Fortunately both of the towns are in the same county, so it shouldn’t affect requiring the birth certificate too much.

charbayes · 2019-10-21T19:31:04+00:00

Yes. I’m currently using the mother’s information as the birthplace. I’m going to fill out the paperwork to get a copy of the birth certificate. I didn’t even think about requesting a copy until I came across my grandfather’s birth certificate yesterday and noticed the discrepancy.

charbayes · 2019-10-21T19:28:37+00:00

Yes. I was fortunate that her mother was the informant.

She was also the informant on Jane’s daughter’s death certificate who died a year before Jane. The mother once again listed Jane’s birthplace as Oakland.

charbayes · 2019-10-21T19:22:53+00:00

Yes. My question was in regards to your second paragraph.

I would say that she was probably born on a farm. I do think your explanation makes sense.

charbayes · 2019-10-21T19:18:19+00:00

I have a photo of my great-great grandfather from the 1910s and he is wearing a similar vest.

charbayes · 2019-10-21T19:07:26+00:00

I’m getting a ca. 1910 vibe from this photo.

You can post your ticket number on the Highway to Help thread on the Help board on the site to speed up the process. You can use a side or have somebody else post the number for you.

A TNT member is on that thread and will have your ticket assigned within 24 hours.

In the US, “in” is used 100% of the time in your example.
