When there's time to be idled away, a revisit to the Pepys Project is indicated, especially a search for Austin weblogs. The candor of some continues to amaze. No wonder I have a nineteenth-century outlook on so many things--my paternal grandfather was born in 1845! This I've confirmed, courtesy of the free posting of the 1880 U.S. census. This information had been thought to be correct, but now it's a better than fair certainty. Since the 1881 Canadian census is up, I was able to find more than I expected to about all those who lived on the lands now under the St. Lawrence freeway.
