Which historical document in your possession are you happy to have? How did you acquire this item? What does it reveal about your ancestors?
Are newspaper clippings considered to be historical documents? Hope so!
My 2GGF Crist Hayes Carrico was the black sheep of the family. When I first begin studying my family history, my late Aunt Jan brought a box out of her closet, a box full of old photographs. One in particular caught my eye: a well-dressed, handsome gentleman with a piercing stare. I immediately asked my aunt who this man was. She said he was MaMaw Stanley's (my great-grandmother's) father, and that he was a scoundrel! When I asked more questions of my aunt and then of other family members, including my grandmother, I basically got the same answer.
Wow! Who was Crist Hayes Carrico and why did the whole family dislike him so?
After several months of research, I had come to a dead end. I had that photo, and a couple of census reports, and that was my paper trail. My grandmother said she thought Carrico was buried in New Mexico, but didn't know where.
That was it.
One day, I was reading through my Google Alerts, and happened upon a mention of a New Mexico Death Index. Maybe…
A quick check led to a listing for "Crist Carirco", who died in Lea County, New Mexico on 1 Aug 1941. The surname was spelled wrong, but was this my guy?
I scratched my head for a few moments, then decided to send in a request to Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness. Almost immediately, I got a reply from David Minton, a RAOGK volunteer in Lea County. I sent David all the info I had on Carrico, including that photo. I was hoping for confirmation that the man in the index was my guy, and maybe a cemetery location. Anything at all would be more than I already had, right?
In only a couple of days, I got several emails from David, containing scanned newspaper images. As I read through these clippings, I gasped, my eyes got huge and my mouth dropped wide open! In only a few minutes a very sturdy brick wall in my genealogical research literally disintegrated before my eyes!
For contained in those clippings was the final chapter of the story of my second great-grandfather, Crist Hayes Carrico. And a very sad and gruesome ending it was:
David sent me a total 4 newspaper clippings dealing with Carrico's death, and also a photo of his grave. Thanks to David and his diligent efforts, I was later able to get a death certificate and have even found newspaper announcements of his wedding to my 2GGM Sallie Hattie Lee Kennedy and another, earlier census entry. The flood gates were opened, it seems!
So why is Carrico so disliked by my family? I could suppose, from the newspaper articles, that he was an alcoholic, but I don't know that to be true in his younger days. As Sallie Hattie Lee Kennedy later remarried, I could also suppose that she, a Catholic, and Carrico divorced. Strike 2. My aunt did comment once that Hattie's mother, Susan William Lee Martin, never thought Carrico was "good enough" for her daughter. 3 strikes and you're out!
Could these suppositions eventually influence Carrico to take that fatal walk home from the bar that night? I don't know. More research is needed, and Carrico will be one of the first ancestors I search for on April 2nd when the 1940 Federal Census becomes available to the public.

Magistrates warned a thug who smashed a window at his ex-partner's home if he breaches a restraining order he could face up to five years in prison.
Chesterfield magistrates' court heard on Monday, May 19, how Daniel Mee, 22, of Baden Powell Road, Chesterfield, smashed the window after he had gone to his ex-partner's home to mow the lawn and claimed she was making sarcastic gestures.
Prosecuting solicitor Becky Allsop said: "The complainant stated she had been in a relationship with Mee. She said she saw him in her back garden and made her children breakfast and ignored Mee as he read a newspaper.
"She went onto her garden an hour later to mow the lawn and said you may as well read that in your own garden and he said I will go when I choose to go.
"He followed her into the house and she locked the door but he walked round to a side window and punched it several times causing it to break."
Mee pleaded guilty to causing criminal damage after the incident on Saturday, May 17.
He told police he had gone to help with the garden and claimed the complainant had been sarcastic to him and he admitted breaking the window.
Defence solicitor Denny Lau said Mee who suffers with ADHD and dyspraxia told how the complainant arranged for him to sort out the garden.
Mr Lau added: "The argument was that he was reading the newspaper instead of doing the garden and things got heated. He said she was being sarcastic and waving to him and he banged on the window and put it threw."
Magistrates fined Mee £73 and ordered him to pay £100 compensation, £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge. They imposed a six-month restraining order and warned that any breach could result in up to five years behind bars.

Clean House while on Cancer Treatment
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
This may seem like an odd question. My mom is about to start chemotherapy for stage II breast cancer.
The question is, will the condition/cleanliness of my mom's home impact her health during treatment? Mom has never been a neat freak as it's just not a priority for her, and up until now it hasn't caused her any issues.
However, if she is going to be at risk for infection [secondary to the treatment] and the home is messy/dirty, could it complicate things?
Nancy Zieber, RN, MSN, CRNP, Oncology/Hematology Nurse Practitioner, responds:
During the chemotherapy treatments, it is common for the white blood cells (WBC's, which fight infection in the body) to be decreased in number. Most often the WBC count is lowered to an "acceptable" level, and most healthy women do not develop fever, chills, or infection. It is also common for women being treated for breast cancer to have an injection of a drug called Neulasta on the day after chemotherapy to help maintain the white blood cells at a more normal level.
So while on chemotherapy with blood counts lower than normal, your mother is at risk for infection. Most often these infections come from bacteria within our own body, but because the white blood cell count is low, the bacteria may present in an area which can cause infection. For example, it is normal for everyone to have bacteria in their bowel/stool. You or I might have some of that bowel bacteria enter our bladders, but our body's normal defenses, (like the white blood cells) manage to take care of the bacteria. However, for someone on chemotherapy who has low white blood cells, the bacteria may cause a bladder infection.
It would be best to have a clean house with routine vacuuming, dusting, mopping, sink cleaning, regular dish-washing, crumb removal off surfaces, etc. If the house is actually dirty now, then it should be cleaned first. Ultimately the most important way to prevent infection during treatment is good hand washing, meaning both by mom and by all visitors. During treatment, people are often too tired to clean, so household chores may be something you or other loved ones could do to "help her out", while at the same time taking care of your own worries.

June 02, 2003The UCLA/Johnson & Johnson Health Care Institute for Head Start launched training for Head Start trainers in New Jersey on May 27, 2003. The "Train the Trainers Conference" covered issues essential to children's health, helping to reduce health care costs. The nationwide program plans to train 10,000 Head Start households over the next three years. Researchers predict that the program could save $2 million annually in Medicaid costs associated with unnecessary clinical and emergency room visits.
Dr. Ariella Herman, senior lecturer at The Anderson School at UCLA, who led the research team that conducted the study, trained the Head Start trainers.
"We are excited to launch this nationwide training program that will have a profound impact on our children and families," said Dr. Herman.
The daylong conference addressed issues regarding common childhood ailments and ways to teach parents how to treat them. Author Gloria G. Mayer, RN, trained participants in childhood health issues featured in her book titled, "What to Do When Your Child Gets Sick." This book has proved a useful and essential tool in the Health Care Institute Head Start's pilot program as an instructional guide for parents. The book teaches parents how to care for their sick children and can subsequently be used as a reference following the training.
Working in partnership with Johnson & Johnson and Head Start, Dr. Herman developed a training program that was delivered to parents over a 30-day period in the fall of 2001. That pilot study revealed that providing Head Start parents with convenient, easy-to-understand health care information could improve the quality of care for sick children, while reducing health care costs dramatically.
Head Start families who participated in the health care training pilot study reported a 37 percent drop in visits to health care providers and a 48 percent decrease in emergency room visits in the six months following the training.
After the conference, the Head Start trainers will immediately begin training Head Start parents throughout the country.
