Parents "protecting" their children are a big part of the reason we're in this shit.
Parents tell "white lies" about their own health, and the result is people who'll say "she was fine until yesterday, now she's dead because of doctors!"

My great-great-grandfather Andrew Baldinger came to America from Switzerland around 1831—or so the family history says.
His story includes the Texas Revolution, a shipwreck, four weeks stranded on an island, and eventually a bakery in Galveston.
Now I'm trying to find the records that will tell me who his parents were, whether he had siblings, and exactly how he arrived in America. #genealogy
