Our entire local history family was heartbroken by the death of #HistoryForge co-founder Robert Kibbee on May 31st 2022. The project combined many of Bob's passions, including maps, census data, genealogy, and local history. thehistorycenter.net/Blog/12810264
#HistoryForge helps researchers explore the interplay of #historicmaps, #census records, and building records. This 1888 #SanbornMap shows #ArchivesonMyStreet and business names for the @TompkinsHistory building in #Ithaca. Explore at historyforge.net #ArchivesHashtagParty
'reCOUNT: Facing our Census' opened at @TompkinsHistory in downtown #Ithaca on 4/1. The exhibit draws hugely on the Ithaca #HistoryForge project which spans 1900-1940 (1880 is finished too we just have to make it live!). This exhibit will be on display April 2022-March 2023.

You can see the full listings for the Payne family on @_HistoryForge for the 1920 and 1930 #census years historyforge.net/buildings/1620! In 1920 Verdelle Payne listed his profession as "Miller". He was not still living in the household in 1930 but his son was. #twithaca #HistoryForge
