My fav things about this thread so far have been at least a handful of people discovering they are related to one another on the thread and also one man tweeting about his great uncle and a historian having a very rare photo of said great uncle he had never seen.

My great-great-grandfather from Holyoke, MA was murdered in a very suspicious workplace shooting that was so shocking in 1898 it made national news. I've found papers from St. Louis to the Twin Cities to California covering it.

I just found my 4th great grandfather’s will online and the part where he lists his family and where they live, he lists his son Patrick as “left house 12 years ago, have not heard from since”. Now I want to know what happened to him.pic.twitter.com/D24CacVKdK
