It's been too long since I've posted, no excuses.

Here is pic of me and my Grandson Spencer last week Sept 09.

Thursday morning I received news that my Mayflower Society application was approved!  After a year of research and sending away for documentation, etc., having my cousin sit on the floor of a court house in Kentucky sifting thru very old paperwork to come up with one specific marriage certificate, I've succeeded in proving my lineage to Capt. Myles Standish of the Mayflower.   A couple of times I almost gave up, and thought it might never come together, but it finally did.  I've been one busy genealogist this year, joining the DAR and now the Mayflower Society, and I personally added to the gene pool by becoming a grandmother.  :)

I'm reading Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick and I'm amazed how different the real story is from what I learned in school.  Has anyone else read it?

I just got home from Portland after attending the birth of my first Grandchild.  He was born Aug. 10th. 

He was 7 lbs, 12 oz and 9.25 inches long.  He is healthy and adorable! Pictures to follow!
