A few weeks ago Karen at Ancestor Soup passed this award along to me and I’ve been remise in my acknowledging her kindness . Please visit her blog. So during my procrastination this Award has passed many times over to so many worthy blogs. Every blogger taking the time to remember the those who came before are worthy , so if you were missed please help yourself on me. I haven’t blogged much lately being away several days a week helping my daughters or when at home doing yard work. I did find out last week that we are also descendant approved. Both sets of Grandchildren think we should spend more time with them :)
Part of the reward requires me to list 10 surprises found during my genealogy research. Here’s some that I can think of offhand :
1. Finding that we live in the same area that 5 generations (1750-1890) of my wife's maternal line lived and worked. My daughters probably went to school with countless unknown cousins.
2. Finding a picture of my Great grand mother on the Internet.(My only one)
3. Finding that the whispered rumor by some relatives that my father had a half brother somewhere in Maine just may be true. My father had never said any thing but I found my grandfather may have been married twice.
4. Not surprised to find that many online genealogies have many errors.
5. Finding that many family members aren’t really interested.
6. It’s late, I’m tired, I give up.
