I'still on limited internet availablity but had a computer most of the day today. I spent most of the day doing genealogy Right now I am in the process of setting up a GedCom file with all the info I gathed today. But I needed a break after inputting approximately 85 individuals from 1608 to 1712.

I am facinated by the family history. I have a signer of the declaration of independence in my direct family line, an aviator who worked along with the Wright Brothers and was the first avialtor to take a president up in the air, a 'discoverer' of some famous apples (Baldwin Apples) and a whole bunch of regular folks who were brave and went into a lot of dangerous situations not because they wanted to be great but because they believed in what they were doing. From pioneers settling in new areas, revolutionary war fighters, cilvil war fighters (had some family on both sides of that war), to WWI and WWII vets. And there were some amazing women with stories to tell too.

I am excited about getting this info onto my family web site. Something to share with folks out there. And I am going to scan pics of the old timers thatI have and post those too.

Family history is truly an amazing thing. You learn so much about where you came from and the type of people who helped shape who you are today. One thing I learned today in my research...

No matter who they were, what their economic status, how they got to the US, each generation had someone special who had a spirit that was rich in charting uncharted territories.

I am off to work on my GedCom file some more. Hope this finds all my readers well and I'll catch up with everything going on my life soon.
