But for the past week, I have been absolutley miserable with allergies! The ragweed in Texas is exceptionally high this year, and I wake up with my eyes glued shut most mornings. That, plus sneezing, snotting, itching, coughing..all of which has lead to a sinus infection from you-know-where. Yesterday, I spent the entire day passed [...]

Oh, I’ve been around, just not blogging for a few days.
I’ve been working on my Mom’s Red Photo Album, I’m trying to do at least 2 pages/day. Gotta pace myself, don’t want to hit the wall, you know!
Last week I also got a RAOGK request for a cemetery photo here in Tarrant County, TX. It’s [...]

This morning I created 2 more pages of Mom’s Red Photo Album, after not touching it for about 3 weeks. Last night I posted the album itself, to see if I could. (With my WordPress.com blog, I couldn’t post it!). Glad to get back into that task.
I also learned how to add images to my [...]

I have been trying to figure out how to safeguard my Mom’s red photo album. It’s at least 50 years old and most of the photos are either stuck in place or taped in place, so removing them to another “archive”-type album is out of the question. The pages are about 12″x12″, so they are [...]

I read several genealogy blogs and many of the folks writing those blogs talk about their research and how several family members often work together to get the job done. And I frequently hear that genealogy is one of the fastest growing hobbies in the United States. Well, guess what… other than the folks behind [...]

Not much genealogical research, at least not in the traditional use of the term…The here and now is always more important. By that, I mean… my living ancestors! My dad is doing very well after his triple bypass of a month ago. I went to visit him in Louisiana the weekend before Thanksgiving. I went [...]

My grandmother turned 91 years young on Thursday, October 4. Today is her birthday party. Although confined to a nursing home for the past 4 years due to mild dementia, her memory of long-ago events is still surprisingly clear. She has been a great help to me in my research, and loves to tell stories [...]
