Bought a new bank note!
This is from the 1902 series and was issued by The American National Bank of Vincennes sometime between 1920 and 1923.
This bank was originally named The German National Bank of Vincennes and changed its name in 1918, very likely due to anti-German sentiment at the time.
The front portrait is Benjamin Harrison, US President from Indianapolis, and the "Landing of the Pilgrims" is on the reverse.

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 2️⃣1️⃣: Conflict
I figured a lot of mappers will create maps about recent wars and conflicts so I decided to create a map about #WorldWarI and see if #Wikidata is a good enough source for its battles, conflicts, and military operations.
I also wanted to know if there are any open data sources for historical borders, and I found one, CShapes! https://icr.ethz.ch/data/cshapes/

The International Committee of the Red Cross during #WorldWarI exchanged prisoner of war data between the conflict parties (mainly of soldiers from the Western Front). Their archive website https://grandeguerre.icrc.org/ provides lists of prisoner movements etc. as well as search requests. It helped me to recreate the time Emil Hercher https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hercher-33 spent as a French prisoner of war. Even if there was no record of his escape, it helped to fill some gaps.

Es ist vollbracht: Die Kategorie "Imperial German Army, World War I" hat endlich eine einheitliche Benennung der Einheiten erhalten. Wir bedanken uns beim @LandesarchivBW für die Erklärungen und beim @GenWiki für die ganzen Artikel über Einheiten des Ersten Weltkriegs, die wir jetzt einfach mal zum Standard erhoben haben. #WikiTree #WorldWar1 #GreatWar

After learning about him only yesterday, I created another profile from the category "significant relationships to our family". This time it's pharmacist Heinrich Siever from #Lüdenscheid aka "the guy with whom the brother of my great-grandmother broke out from a French prison during World War I":

Wo wir gerade beim Ersten Weltkrieg sind: Warum hat das "Infanterie-Regiment 113" seine Nummer eigentlich hinter der Einheitenbezeichnung, das "1. Garde-Regiment" aber ebenso davor, wie die "8. Landwehr-Division" und die "55. Gemischte Ersatz-Brigade"? Das @LandesarchivBW nummeriert die Einheiten zumindest so. Gibt es da ein System? 🤔
