I used to wait on the Osborne’s at the Beverly hills hotel in 1990. Sharon looked nothing like she does today. The kids were tiny. And Ozzy (John), was super polite. They were sweet to the staff.

Thank you for sharing this! I always have wondered if they are as nice as I’ve felt like they would be.

I absolutely love Sharon. She’s such a strong and beautiful woman. Seeing her reactions to finding out about her family. You can truly see her empathy and sympathy for her ancestors.

My mother worked in Fall River in the late 1950's in a pajama factory sewing together pajama's.

We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors who labored to build this country.

Sharon’s ancestors’ experience was no different from all other immigrants. These are the people that worked very hard to build America. Tough life.

Fall River is where Lizzie Borden and her family lived.

My ancestors lived about one mile from Lizzie’s street. Many kids. All worked at the mills. One ancestor killed by machinery at the mill. Another young ancestor lost a finger at the mill. Many of my ancestor’s kids did not make it to adulthood. They died of malnutrition and disease brought on by poor living and working conditions.

This Fall River story was heartbreaking. 😢

My relatives worked in textile mills in Philadelphia. I'm sure it was difficult and they worked long hours but several of them were able to purchase homes.

did anyone notice that the birthplace of Mother changed from England to Ireland as Sharon read the Fall River birth certificates? I wonder why the country changed.

I have zero ancestral connections to the US in my family, they can all be traced back to the UK. My mother’s family didn’t start coming to Canada until 1916 and my father’s family didn’t come to Canada until the 1950’s.

When the Revolutionary War broke out, the average US soldier was a few inches taller than the average British soldier. This was because the portions of chicken, pork and beef was so bountiful in the colonies. Great Britain was a stratified society. The colonies had no such thing. Industrialization created the new rich in America and peaked with the Vanderbilts, Rockefeller and such.

The portions of meat was the big differentiator. Not Brussels sprouts.

Most wealth does not last for more than one generation. Even the Vanderbilts wealth ended within 3 generations. He had more money than the US government. Look at all of the abandoned mansions in the UK after WWII. Once colonial based businesses ended after the war, they just walked away from their mansions when the socialists taxed their properties.
