The Stay Safe Board / Re: What should be the essential data on a Covid passport?
« on: Wednesday 19 May 21 01:04 BST (UK)  »
I think I am in trouble.  I took a careful look at my Covid Card. It is filled in very carefully and correctly but under Healthcare Professional or Clinic Site it is Stamped SLCoHD. Yes that is where I went to have both shots done.

I would have to explain  I had both first and second shots  done at Salt Lake County (Utah) Health Department.

American marriages are normally registered by the County. if most likely they were married in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania a record of the marriage should be in Allegheny County archives.

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: where r annie and john

Never come across the name before. Here it is. From the Internet

The surname Pescod is derived from the word "peascod" or "peapod," a sack in which peas were kept. This word was originally derived from the Old English words "peose" and "pise," which mean "pea," and "codd," which means "bag." The Pescod name was occupational for a seller of peas.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: The ship SS Wells City .

I thought we had some Americanization with every one horse place in America called a "City".

But I was wrong.

From the Internet:

Wells is the smallest city in England with about 12,000 inhabitants. It can call itself a city because of the famous 13 th century Cathedral.
