German historian. Economic and social history. Probably in some archive's basement. Dad. Rowing. Running. Motorsports.
It's mainly interesting for people in classic 'new world migration target' countries like north America, Australia and NZ as prime examples imo. If your family hasn't moved outside a 50km circle in 1000+years, what is there to be found for your typical native euro guy

With your grandparents you can do the same and so on. Many archives have digitalised their ancestry records, many have not. It really is all about where you are and where your ancestors were located.

Depends on where you're based. But you basically start with your parents and work your way up the tree. For example, start with your dad, know where and when he was born, go to the archive of that city/region and check his birth record. In there you'll find the names and DOB's of your grandparents

The whole Dubai chocolate craze made it really easy to find the stupid idiots in any group. Bonus points for the guys who *realised* the whole thing for what is is but justified with "bUt It TaStEs ReAlLy GoOd tHouGH".

Don't imagine fox news, wait for the field day that Russian and Chinese media or anything anti NATO really will have with this

Selbst, wenn ich es wollte, könnte ich nicht 40h arbeiten. Es gibt (zumindest hier) einfach keine Kinderbetreuung, die verfügbar und/oder bezahlbar ist, die ~9 Stunden (8h Arbeit, 30min gesetzl. Pause, 15min An- und Abfahrt) pro Tag abdeckt. Wie soll da noch Kapazität für *noch* mehr Arbeit sein?

They also picture quote her statement en masse and claim it says things it obviously does not.

There’s a bad joke about bone spurs in there somewhere.

Oh, interesting! Hadn't thought as far. Thank you!

What is the flag of Liechtenstein doing there? Did they move and become a northern neighbour? 😀
