Mystery Photo Game
I am trying to start a Mystery Photo Game. The key is the right hashtags on X. My #$%&* website that I love has a period in the middle.- memory.industries - And you can't have periods in hashtags., Grrr.
I guess it is unique enough to use without the period so the hashtag will be #memoryindustries on X if you would like to try to guess the mystery.
Search X/Twitter for my Mystery Photo Game #memoryindustries

Watering, planting new trees
Here is a video of how to plant a new tree with a watering system. After about 2 years you would remove the tube - but just watch the video for how to do this!

I have to say the reason I am looking into this is that I have lost 3 trees in the last couple of years - new trees I tried to establish - and I don't think they got enough water so I am experimenting with better ways to start new trees. This one looks promising.

Pocahontas, alias Matoaka, and her descendants
NOTE: I am just beginning to try to sort this out and it is really confusing with the different revisions which each have different re-print years. I may have made mistakes. Please comment if you see any. I'm sorting thru - Sept 2024 - and when I am done I will do a double check. So stay tuned to updates!
Since I am studying Virginia history I can't really get away from doing research on Matoaka even though there have been a thousand books written about her and I can't read them all. I am going to start by sorting out the first (?) book about her genealogy - below - there have been updates and different versions published since the original and I will sort that out here.

Third Corrections And Additions To Pocahontas’ Descendants
by Stuart E. Brown, Jr. and Lorraine F. Myers; Published: 1997, Reprinted: 2003; Softcover; 197 pp; ISBN 9780806315423; Item GPC716
The Pocahontas Foundation, based upon information furnished to it, has compiled a tentative list of the descendants of Pocahontas, a list set forth in Pocahontas' Descendants. This present volume, the third involving additions and corrections to the existing work, contains more than 120 pages of changes and revisions, with a forty-page index of 6,500 names. The name of the spouse of a Pocahontas descendant is listed even though that spouse is not a descendant of Pocahontas, but the name of a parent of such a spouse is not indexed unless, of course, that parent is a descendant of Pocahontas as well. This new volume is an indispensable adjunct to contemporary Pocahontas scholarship.
