United States of America / Re: Obituary for James Bradley and Agnes Bradley Philadelphia
« on: Yesterday at 09:39 »
Do you know the month and date? It might help those who have a sub. to the sites with obituaries to narrow it down. It's kind of a common name.

If this is them, they had at least one son
1950
James, Agnes, and son, age 2

edited to remove the son's name, who could still be alive

And ... googling "does Cloudflare protect against DDOS" [deliberate denial of service] gets:

"Cloudflare offers free DDoS protection for websites and applications with all application services plans. Sign up now to protect against DDoS attacks."  from the Google summary hit page. The link goes to

https://www.cloudflare.com/application-services/products/ddos-for-web/

which says "Free DDoS for websites and so much more"

and thanks for asking. I learned from that site that I can get a free version of Cloudflare for my "hobby project" family history site, which I will look into as soon as I sort out one ggg grandfather's will and property and find another gg grandfather's parents, etc., etc.

Final (maybe) summary: So rootschat might have been experiencing a DDOS attack last weekend. The attacker's software would be spoofing very many IP addresses, possibly including those from legitimate users. So there would be no point in Cloudflare learning to trust your IP since it could be spoofed during the next attack anyway.
Assuming I understand this whole business correctly.

Googling "can you spoof an IP address" got me a lot of results, but this seems to be the best explanation:

If your objective is to DoS (flood the target with an overwhelming volume of traffic) then such a manipulation is useful, but if you intend to have some legitimate traffic between target and altered IP it won't work.

The last point was explained earlier in that thread. The reason why it won't work if you want legitimate traffic, namely to receive information back from the site, is because the site would send all information to the spoofed address, since that is where you told it you were.

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/212705/is-it-possible-to-spoof-an-ip-address-to-an-exact-number

So now we both know, I think. Maybe someone who knows more about it will come along and verify that information.

So much for artificial "intelligence."  This blasted thing has checked me hundreds of times and concluded that I am human every single time, but it doesn't learn from that experience.  Am I being singled out because I have a suspicious IP address in Ecuador?

Good question, but I doubt it. On the desktop it asks me every time. On the Ipad, every time but sometimes I don't have to check the box.
And good point, you would think it would learn to trust your IP address. On the other hand, IP addresses can probably be spoofed, like everything else.

Image is on FamilySearch http://www.rootschat.com/links/01u4y/
From that link I found the England, Derbyshire, Church of England Parish Registers, 1537-1995, at familysearch and will start browsing the images of the Derbyshire book.

A side question for anyone who has findmypast - Are the Derbyshire parish records on their site? I haven't found them on ancestry or familysearch, except, I think, for some of each site's transcriptions.

I think whoever maintains this tree at ancestry had access to the parish records, because they include exact dates of Joseph's children.

https://www.ancestrylibrary.com/family-tree/person/tree/44651986/person/342626636132/facts
which I think translates to
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/44651986/person/342626636132/facts

I know the records are available at the Derbyshire archives.

Hello Molly and oldohiohome

Correct me if I am wrong, are some of the attached snippets parts of the Will that we are dealing with (snippets of the first 4 images for identification) attached?

Yes, the images you attached are the first two pages of the will I am asking about. Thank you for including them, they might be sharper images than the ones I have.

My transcription of it is now at
https://myoldohiohome.com/articles/1829-will-of-joseph-gratton-of-brendwood-gate-barlow-derbyshire.html

If it would have helped to link to my transcription at the beginning, I apologize, but I didn't have any trouble reading it, so I didn't include it.

You will need to make enquiries with the various Record Offices in that link, is a place to start.
Got it, thanks.

@MollyC and others:

Thank you for the thorough explanation of the possible landholding arrangements. I was unfamiliar with these types of landholding and will have to go over the information and look up some of the terms to sort it all out.
