Rhine Girl: What Am I Working On Wednesday?

http://rhinegirl.blogspot.com/2013/04/what-am-i-working-on-wednesday_17.html

Wednesday, April 17, 2013. What Am I Working On Wednesday? Borrowing this blog post title from National Archives site. Researching today, and past two days, transportation in Appalachia Kentucky in the 1880s. Should finish this up today. When an ancestor moves a significant distance, as my great grandfather John Dean did in 1885, it's natural to wonder how that ancestor got there. Remember, no automobiles. The choices:. Train, steam engine. River, flat boats, barges, steamboats. What did he do there?

Rhine Girl: Shady Lady

http://rhinegirl.blogspot.com/2013/03/shady-lady.html

Friday, March 8, 2013. Early 1800s Methodist Camp Meeting in the Colonies, when my 3rd great grandmother. Was in her 20s. I've been searching for any info on Elizabeth Dean, my 3rd Great Grandmother for two years. She has stayed at the top of the Dean Family Tree as the earliest ancestor so far, born in 1785, in Virginia. I did some research on Virginia in the 1700s and early 1800s to add a little local flavor to Elizabeth's story, especially since I have no photos of her or her gravestone. No mention of...

Rhine Girl: Changes With Writing a True Book

http://rhinegirl.blogspot.com/2013/05/changes-with-writing-true-book.html

Monday, May 13, 2013. Changes With Writing a True Book. I've taken a short break from writing the last week or so. Just to think, mainly. I've changed the format of the book now twice, and wondering if I need to change it again. This is a hard book to write for the main reason I am a character in the story, but not the important character. I am the narrator, yes. But I feel I need to write about the changes I, as the author, went through in writing the book. My doctors thought it possible. The book, in i...

Rhine Girl: Grandma's Sewing Machine

http://rhinegirl.blogspot.com/2013/02/grandmas-sewing-machine.html

Monday, February 4, 2013. By the time I was old enough to observe a sewing machine in Grandma's apartment, or even know what one was, Grandma had given her Domestic treadle machine to her youngest daughter, my Aunt Clara, the one who sewed. I do remember the machine at Aunt Clara's house, because she took in some of her own clothes, widening the seams and shortening the hems, to fit me. I was about 10 at the time. I was a small girl, so a half-yard of fabric could make me a pretty skirt, and a whole yard...
