Remebering the Fallen

Today is Memorial Day. Have fun, and be safe. 

Take the time to remember those that others have forgotten. Their sacrifices and service has brought us such prosperity and HOPE that others will never know.

It's Tombstone Tuesday!!

It's Margaret Brady Brown- missing link for 20 years!  I found her wandering in Prairie Grove Cemetery (another missing link for many) in Utica, Seward, Nebraska, USA.

It's Heman.. not Herman

Genealogy Sayings

I trace my family history so I will know who to blame. 

Every family tree has some sap in it.

Friends come and go, but relatives tend to accumulate.

Genealogists never die, they just loose their roots. 

Genealogy: A hay stack full of needles. It's the threads I need.

Genealogy: Collecting dead relatives and sometimes a live cousin!
