A Super-gene?

GSQ Blog Posted on September 25, 2016 by GSQ AdminDecember 30, 2016

Current DNA research suggests that the descendants of plague survivors share certain genetic changes, described as super-genes, that may extend life expectancy by providing protective immunity and resistance to certain cancers and auto-immune diseases.  The theory interests me because two of my Italian ancestors may possibly have died of plague,  My 8x-great-grandfather Michele and his son Giovanni died on the same day at ages 85 and 54, respectively. Their deaths could be attributable to factors other than plague – an accident of some … Continue reading

It Is a Great Time to be Irish!

GSQ Blog Posted on September 11, 2016 by GSQ AdminDecember 30, 2016

While it is true that many records of great use to family historians were destroyed in the Four Courts Fire, it is not true that everything was destroyed. Over the last number of years more records have been digitised and placed online including the 1901 and 1911 censuses. (Sadly only fragments of previous censuses have not … Continue reading
