Though this be Madsen, yet there is method in't.". With apologies to Shakespeare, we would like to share some of our method and our madness. Enjoy. I'll let the blog speak for itself. This is the story of the three month odyssey my friends have gone through with the diagnosis, decline and ultimate death of their beautiful little one. Heather, who writes it, is an amazing woman. Her family is amazing. It is worth taking time to read through their story which is still ongoing. Jamie broke her arm. Yes, Vir...

Though this be Madsen, yet there is method in't.". With apologies to Shakespeare, we would like to share some of our method and our madness. Enjoy. Our van died. Cracked engine block. It is ten years old. We just spent $600 to find out that it will cost $2000, more or less, to fix it. So do we fix it, or replace it? Our budget is very tight and most of the vehicles in our price range are probably in about the same condition as our van. You know, on the edge of major repairs. So, what to do? Dont Just Wis...

I have been doing some indexing as I have had the time for it. And as my wrists have allowed me. Since my last pregnancy, carpal tunnel has been more of an issue. I'm glad I had the chance to participate in the challenge to index 5,000,000 names. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a mom, a genealogist, a reader, and now a published writer. (Well, I am.

The Story Finder: Hurray! It wasn't murder!
http://pro-amfamilyhistorian.blogspot.com/2010/10/hurray-it-wasnt-murder.html
I found a more local (up the road a ways in the same county) newspaper account of my several times great grandfather's double murder. Turns out, he only wounded the other guy - who lived for about 3 more years. My ancestor was still followed and killed by friends or relatives of the victim. Now, I REALLY want the account from the local newspaper. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am a mom, a genealogist, a reader, and now a published writer. (Well, I am.

Doing family history has been difficult to keep up with in the last few years. I am getting back into it through Family Search Indexing. It is something to do that is easy, quick and gets my interest back up. I am having fun. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a mom, a genealogist, a reader, and now a published writer. (Well, I am.

Relatives in random places. You never know when you'll run in to a relative. A few stories. My husband attended a conference recently. One of the last presentations he went to, somebody struck up a conversation with him about his surname. The other gentleman had the same surname in his ancestry. Maybe they were related. Semi-common surname, multiple branches unrelated to each other around here. Chances were small. But, it turned out to be true. Kezia And we are. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
