This link goes to my family history.

this is to Brian's family.

Aunt Ruby

I have begun going through Aunt Ruby's documents in depth. I have found several useful items so far. It was kind of eye opening to think about her doing research on someone who I counted as "nonessential" and she was researching as her grandmother's sister. It really doesn't take very many generations to become non-direct does it?

A day in the life of my family

October 24th events

Thoms Almsted 291, Emma Jane Fogleman 143, David Kenneth 45, Thomas John Dawson 102, and Gaston Blake 27.  Annivesaries: Clem and Lillian 38 years, Cecil and Lavera 63.

I am also back to going through some of the treasures from my Great Aunt Ruby who researched for decades on my White family.

Today in My Family

Today is my grandson's fourth birthday.

He was so excited for his birthday he was singing happy birthday to everyone and everything. That got me to thinking about the family birthdays he shared. So I went to my Roots Magic and printed out a calendar of events for today. Jayce shares his birthday with Frank Stinehart who would have been 146 today, Thomas T Omvig younger at age 140, Whelma Marie Schmidt age 102, John B. Gearhart 184, Bernice Isabel Chaplin 110, and William Loren Ayers 124.

He is an amazingly happy and interesting young man and definitely has some traits of his ancestors. He is a story teller like his great, great Grandpa White!
