Unfortunately this story is not from any of my known gene pool but I always leave hope for stuff like this to appear. Ran into this article and was just splitting a gutt….now this little tidbit is just delightful, and if I had any Alexanders or Tompkins I’d be looking under any rock for kin!
Happy [...]

Wowsers, I’ve been tagged!
Cathy from Genealogy – Digging up Dirt honored me with the “I Heart Your Blog” award. How special I feel now;O) Just wished my internet service had allowed me to respond quicker. Ah such is life in cyber-space though.
The rules associated with this particular tagging are that the tagged blogger

Fun times

I’m being held hostage by my ISP/phone/cable company, so I am unable to keep this up until they start playing nice. Mediacom has thus far avoided BBB, and weekly requests (since November) to fix the problems and now they are worse…no one can call in and internet is very intermittent. The biggest pain is I’m [...]
Reminders

I have been scanning my father-in-laws photos so the entire family can share them. I never really thought of it as possibly preserving memories, but this article by Eastman’s post today made me realize I may actually be doing the right thing, of course by accident, but hey! Thankfully, Amy did that for my father’s [...]

Thomas Edward “Eddie” Belser passed away on the 3rd of August after a lengthy illness. I’m really sad about it today. I didn’t get to meet Eddie a couple years ago because I wasn’t able to get to the Gray reunion, and now I won’t ever get that chance….sigh. Eddie is my second cousin and was [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates, but the computer decided it needed to be reformatted, then again, and I’m just not getting done very quickly. I should be up and finished with that stuff in a couple more days and hopefully back to updating the blog soon.

Yippee! Finally a blogroll addition I can HIGHLY recommend. I’ve been using this awesome software since the Family Origins days. I never think twice about whether I want to upgrade it and it is the most economical and top-quality software I’ve found. Prior to finding this through a local computer genealogy group, I’d spent well [...]
Civil War comes home
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Civil War on June 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Wowsers, it really hit me as I was transcribing these records. I thought it was bad knowing that Minch had died from battle, leaving a devastated widow and children. Then when I got through John’s records and realized that John and Lovenia had at least two grown children perish…wow….I just can’t wrap my head around that. [...]
Government house update

You know I was all set to work on the civil war records, but well, my morning email included these awesome update photos of the Government House, and well, this just had to be done! Then of course my internet promptly went down (don’t ever get stuck with mediacom) so I’ve been waiting a few [...]
Sidetracked

My goal today was to upload the information from the military records from Minch L. Gray and John J. Gray from the Civil War that I just received. So once my isp finally decided to grace me with online service today, I checked the email first, and there was all the fodder needed for turning [...]
