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.

We had our second Grashoff Family Reunion at our home yesterday. Forty-five family members attended and we had wonderful conversation, food, and rides for the kids on four-wheelers and a side-by-side. Thanks to everyone who could attend.

Squeezing in some research!
On my lunch hour, I am trying to at least do a little research on my lunch hour on Ancestry! I can at least print out some documents and attach them to my Ancestry Family Tree!

Going south for the winter!
Well, my Accounting class has started so I probably won't be getting much done on my genealogy research for a while! :(

Grashoff Family Reunion
I hosted a Grashoff Family reunion at my hose on December 23. Unfortunately, we had very bad weather and a lot of people couldn't make it, however, those that did make it had a wonderful time. We watched a power point presentation that Andrew made with lots of old family pictures. It was very nice to see everyone. We are planning to get together again this summer.
Harm Heinrich Grashoff
I have been attempting to "digitize" my documents and in so doing I was rereading some of the information that I recieved from the church records in Germany about Harm Heinrich Grashoff. What do you know! The record of Harm's wedding to Elizabeth Massemann states that he is a widow. That would mean another wife and possibly other children somewhere. So, the suggestion of revisiting all information is always a good one.
Thanksgiving!
What a nice Thanksgiving celebration we had at Karol's house. All of our children were able to be with us for Thanksgiving. My sibilings, their spouses, and children also all attended. We were also able to spend time witn cousin, Sherri, and Rusty and Doris and their families. Very nice holiday at Grandma Karol's house!
