(I found this song when I attended a concert on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, at a music festival. A band by the name of Iron Horse, from Glasgow, Scotland was playing. I have reproduced their song here without permission... though I hope to receive it as soon as possible.)
A song by Lynn about the passing on of traditions and ways of life, and with that, values and an identity.
Inheritance
Where you walked I will go
Seeking your soul amongst the turning sand
Between the breakers and the burning land
Where you walked I will goAnd what you learned I will know
Hearing lost answers on the whispering wind
Your blood is my blood, we are kith and kin
What you learned I will knowWhat you dreamt I will dream
Waking thoughts from the source of the stream
Waking and working to know what they mean
What you dreamt I will dream
And what you left I will sew
Into the fabric of my own life now
Our coat of conscience will behanded on down
What you left I will sew
Where you walked I will go
Seeking your soul amongst the turning sand
Between the breakers and the burning land
Where you walked I will go

to a person living in the home of another person, not necessarily
an institution? Freeman is a designation once used to mean an
unmarried man. Domestic once meant a housewife, not nesessarily
a servant. Housekeeper would mean a property owner, male or
female. Mrs. or Mistress with a woman's name usually meant she
was a wealthy woman, and that was the proper way to address
her. Mr. or Mister was used only for a man of wealth, or one
who was educated. A retired man might have been referred to
as a gentleman.
PA=Papers have been filed for citizenship. So how could a
nineteen year old woman, shown as born in California be listed
as an alien? From 2 March 1907 to 21 September 1922, a woman
marrying an alien lost her citizenship in the USA. Such a woman
would have to apply for citizenship, filing a Declaration in
Intent, just as any foreign born person would. It's important
to be aware of the different laws that governed citizenship
and naturalization.
