Thanksgiving in the
U.S.
======================================================================
Those
of us in the United States will be celebrating Thanksgiving this
week. We
don’t usually think of this as a genealogy holiday. However,
when you think
about it, there is a strong "ancestors" connotation
involved, even for those
of us whose ancestors did not travel on the
Mayflower in 1620.
Thanksgiving is a time when we pay homage to all our ancestors who
traveled to a strange land to find a better life for themselves,
their
children, and for succeeding generations. We should all give
thanks to our
ancestors for helping to establish the American way
of life and ensuring
that we are a part of it.

Holiday
Help
======================================================================
Every
Fall I start mumbling about the "highway to the holidays" --
that hectic
time of year that consumes any leftover moments of the
day with
preparations. This year instead of complaining about the
rituals, cooking
and cleaning that take over my life during the
holiday season, I decided to
research the history of those special
days. What I found is that the fall
and winter are full of holidays
celebrated in different parts of the...

The Distaff
Side
======================================================================
The
phrase “the distaff side” is routinely used as an expression
meaning “the
wife,” but many people do not know its origin. A distaff
is one of the tools
used in spinning, which was considered women’s
work. The emblem of the
National Society Daughters of the American
Revolution incorporates tools of
spinning into its logo. The book of
Proverbs in the Bible describes a
virtuous woman as one who “seeketh
wool, and flax, and worketh willingly
with her hands” and “layeth
her hands to the spindle, and her hands holdeth
the distaff.”
This is how my ancient Encyclopedia Britannica describes spinning:
“No
art which has been so long and widely practiced remained so
unprogressive as
that of spinning. On the other hand, since about
the middle of the 18th
century, when human ingenuity bent itself in
earnest to improve the art,
there have not been developed in the
whole range of mechanical industries
machines of greater variety,
delicacy of action and capacity than those now
in use for spinning.”
Let’s look at what this means.
