Sunny skies and ideal temps. ?ÿPerfect conditions for a weekend of remembrance and relaxation. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Stepped outside for a couple of minutes once today.?ÿ Seemed pleasant enough.?ÿ Returned to my drafting.
You must really love your work or don??t know how to say no. ?ÿI hope the roses are in bloom.
They are.?ÿ About 25 feet from the window behind me.
But, I fully understand what you are saying.?ÿ Sunday and Monday have been set aside for my cemetery journeys where I hope to learn from others and share what I know with them, if they desire.?ÿ Helping others in search of their family history gives me great pleasure.
In fact, I know far more about many of my neighbors' family histories than they do.?ÿ It helps to explain the Why and How of the existence of our communities.
If provided with some key names and dates, especially uncommon names such as Hester and Aloysius, it is sometimes amazing the data I can find.?ÿ Dr. Henry Louis Gates of Finding Your Roots is not the only one fascinated with this subject.?ÿ There are times, though, when the data supplied is not adequate to get a solid start.?ÿ For example, the Orphan Trains placed many children in homes across this State with nothing to trace with certainty.?ÿ An ancestor of a co-worker stowed away in a ship leaving Germany while so young he didn't know with certainty his own family name (or chose to never disclose it).
A few weeks ago my oldest daughter revealed she had done the 23 and me thing and found 98 percent of her ancestry was from European countries and 2 percent from Northern Africa.?ÿ This upset her birth mother who had always been told one of her not-so-distant ancestors was a Native American.
Very nice. ?ÿRoots are important and you are?ÿgenerous sharing your time and knowledge ??? ???ÿ?ÿ
I was going to say something about Elizabeth WARREN but will just laugh quietly to myself
This upset her birth mother who had always been told one of her not-so-distant ancestors was a Native American.

Your ex-wife may have an ancestor that was a member of the Lumbee tribe in North Carolina.
I have ancestors that were members of the Magyar tribe in Hungary.
My offering for all those whom paid the ultimate price, and whose lives did not suck, and were willing to step up, stand on that line, and give more than I can ever give.?ÿ?ÿ
Murph workout.
Google why is it called "Murph" if you're not familiar.
