Thanks for dropping in. It's fascinating, isn't it? Oh, if only I'd listened!
Er ... who is Dave?

Thank you. I know only too well what it is to be both a gooseberry and a fool. Usually simultaneously!

Actually, it is very interesting to me Ariel.
I have been doing the family history thing myself, which has raised my interest in "lifestyles of the past." My English roots are much further back though
Yet, those are easier to track down than the other countries of origin - Germany and "Czechoslovakia" for example. Someday when things are more concrete, I hope to send Dave someplace...

Tel, I'll put together a foolproof flow-chart to follow.
That way, if you spill any gooseberry fool on it, it'll be okay.

Yes pleeasiiee! I do want to do that a lot! So, lead on Prof!
But I think keywords in some posts are better, 'cos you get more bang for your bucks, don't you?
If you're interested in Jack El Destripador, as the Spags call him, the best book that I know is " Autumn of Terror " by Tom Cullen, and ex-cop.
Muchos gracias por su visita!

El Tel,
Fascinating stuff once again. Might just be me, but now I'd love to see the warehouse for real and also the Hammersmith house. On my next visit to LODNOD, I'd be out there with my camera.
If you want, I'll teach you how to make and edit links that people can actually click. These could be to outside sites or to other relevant pages within your own blog. It's easier now with the new Blogit toolbar.
Just let me know.
I have some photos of bugs I'll be posting soonish. Dunno why, I've suddenly developed an interest and recently purchased an insects book whilst in Aberconwy House in Conwy, of all places.
Pasta Lego.

I meant to add that it's a pity about your niece.

Ariel that's a good post, puts everything in perspective.
My aunt is in her 50's, had undiagnosed TB as a child, it's only been discovered in the last few years that she has latent TB that's gone into the bone.
Basically means it's inactive. I've been tested in the past (there was an outbreak at a call centre I worked in late '99), it's proved negative. At least today we have treatment for it, and it doesn't have the same associations.

Ariel, thanks for the wry acknowledgment that England had it's own
foul-ups in international affairs. It got under my skin when a British friend of mine turned a bit righteous on the subject of the Middle East. No excuses, of coures, but still we're not the first or the only ones.
Anyway, on to your more personal history. Wowza, how much things have changed in 100 years of public hygiene and sanitation, and nutrition. We forget rickets, bed bugs, scabies, lice, and even the Queen wasn't immune. Sad to think about your sister dying of a disease that's curable now, and that you never got her full history. Shame and guilt, the twin harbingers of doom in every family, I suppose.

Thank you, and ouch! for the pun. Haven't been returning comments this last few days, 'cos I haven't felt up to it.
The best book that I know on Jack The Ripper ( Jack El Destripador, as the Spanish call him) is " Autumn of Terror" by Tom Cullen, a retired Scotland Yard Inspector.
Did Carl enjoy his troll thro' British colonial history?

This one really "bugs" me!
The site of Jack The Ripper. Now it might be kind of fun then then it had to be so very scary!
