I haven't been doing much with this blog lately, however, I am participating in "the Book of Me, Written by You". Here is a link to that blog.

My family, my life, my story. This blog is my record of my search for ancestors here in the United States and their countries of origin. It is also a record of my life and that of my descendants. Genealogy is a long time passion of mine and I hope you will join me. My main surnames of interest are Grashoff, White, Chaffin, Wells, Matzdorff, Fogleman, Stinehart, Omvig. Past, present, and future all come together. Preserving the present is as important as discovering the past.

Updating the binders.
This is a photo of some of my research my binders. As my sister has stated, I may be crazy. I have been spending a lot of time organizing and updating my binders. I have updated their covers with personalized photos. I am now updating the dividers in my binders with a personalized, tab divider page. I am hoping this lends more authority and importance to my research after I am gone. I have also been updated my citations, so on.

Cousin bait
I have heard much from genealogy friends about "cousin bait". I never really thought that this blog would attract any attention, however, this week I received an email from a relative on the west coast. She is my second cousin once removed. Her grandmother was my mother's cousin. Her grandma and aunt always came to visit my Grandparents and I remember spending many hours with them playing cards and actually doing some crafting. It was so nice to know that my feeble attempts at blogging actually made a connection with someone.
This is a picture of Fran of my mother, two of her brothers, a cousin of mine, and Fran's daughter.
