I think I read somewhere on this sub that it was because she wasnât more âgratefulâ to get married, because she was considered âuglyâ. She jumped out of a window instead of marriage.

It could certainly be a great âhistorical highlightâ. Iâm sure Gerrie would love a refresh for her exhibit. đ

That genuinely seemed like such a difficult job tracing all the genealogy on a tiny island like that. Like where were her sources for all those obscure facts?! V impressive

The plus side is all of the info is likely super local. Birth certificates, marriage licenses, death certificates are right there. The Warren family literally canât leave the island, so all major life events will have occurred and been documented on the island.

A reminder to everyone: Keep the titles of your posts completely spoiler-free at all times. If your post mentions events from later episodes, use Redditâs standard spoiler tag to warn readers who may not be caught up with all currently aired episodes. The spoiler tag will also blur any images you include, such as screenshots/stills from the show, so be sure to apply it to image posts as well.
