Multiple partners as in mistresses that they saw regularly, but weren't married to. I haven't had a lot of luck. I found some US census data going back to 1890, but nothing prior. Any references /r/askhistorians would recommend?

So in the Second World War Allied troops obviously invaded Germany. Why then was there no large, organised resistance movement like those that appeared in France or Norway for example? Was it because there was never time for it to organize fully before the end of the war? Or maybe the German population didn't want to prolong the inevitable? Thanks in advance for your answers!

I am currently rereading the Aeneid, and there is a strange scene in it (I believe Book 1) where Venus appears in human guise, but she looks like an Amazon woman. Now, Venus would, of course, be the epitome of beauty, but would her engagement in traditionally "masculine" work, such as hunting, be viewed as attractive or unattractive to Romans.
To ask it more simply, did the Roman value a masculine woman as being attractive or of greater worth than a feminine woman, or would she be viewed as stepping outside of her role in society and thus undesirable?

I do know that the "empire" changed a lot over the years, and what may have been the case at one point, may not have been the same later.
Here's an example of what I'm asking. On the Holy Roman Empire wiki page, under Modern Period;
By the rise of Louis XIV, the Habsburgs were chiefly dependent on their hereditary lands to counter the rise of Prussia, some of whose territories lay inside the Empire.
So how was Prussia governed if it lay both in and out of the empire?
Sorry if the question is unclear and rambling.

Having recently visited the war graves of Belgium I understand that the Germans don't have a commission for the up keep of their cemeteries and therefore rely heavily on donations, however do the soldiers buried in commonwealth war cemeteries fall under the jurisdiction of the war graves commission as the seem to have a more prominent grave stone similar to that of the allied troops. It seems to me sad that The German government don't have a commission to ensure their sacrifices are always remembered as well.

My friend told me the American accent is actually how English people spoke during the period of colonization. Is this true? Also did people speak differently in history and how can we know this?

I am currently in law school/graduate school and am no longer studying Classics. My undergrad degree is in Classical Language. While getting that degree, I also had to take courses in Classical Society. I enjoyed those classes and readings and would like to continue to learn about the period. Those of you who are no longer in school and do not have a job that keeps you involved with your area of study, how do you go about continuing to learn?
I know most people will probably answer "read". I do that, but it seems like when I read for my own pleasure I do not remember as much as I did when it was for a grade.
Any suggestions would be great. I hope I posted this in the right place.

It could be a wounded solider, a war widow, a free black or former slave that took up arms, a community who either suffered or profited from the war. Anything really, I just feel that we view the Civil War as a Southern war and often negate it's effects on the North.

I just saw a picture of Churchill in El Alamein in 1942 relieving the commanding generals. Given a straight shot to Egypt from London involved flying over a lot of hostile territory, how did he get there? What measures were taken with his route and mode of transport to get him there as safely as possible?

I apologize if there's a better subreddit to ask this, but my grandfather has given me his Grandfather's Ledger because of my interest in history. I thought it was just a personal diary of sorts, but it has all kinds of interesting information about the goings-on in Celina, Texas in the 1920s. He has listed all the school age children in the county with their DOBs, weather information, payments to farmhands, deaths/births in the area, etc.
Long story short, I was planning on typing up the ledger over time, since it can be hard to read at times and many of his spellings are phonetic, but I wasn't sure if any libraries or organizations would be interested in the information, besides my family. Any other general tips on keeping the ledger in good shape would also be appreciated! I currently have it out of the sun and kept in a plastic bag when not being read.
