Hi Cindy, I don't know if I thanked you for the nice comments of my son's wedding pics, so I'm thanking you now. I can't believe how time just goes so fast!I haven't been doing any genealogy research in quite some time. I go from one thing to another and my mind has been preoccupied with wedding plans this past year! Now in September my daughter will be married, but this one is in Massachusetts, simple, budget-friendly. Ceremony in a Gazebo(weather permitting)and a buffet-style reception with family and few friends. I hope all is well with you! Thanks again!

Dear Cyndy:

How the heck are you!? ;-D

I am sad, and a little ashamed, to tell the truth.

Thank you for caring so much as to send out an enquiry.

It touched me when I read it just now.

A lot has happened, since Sept., that led to my drifting away completely from my Genealogy Research, and this site.

I made a couple of discoveries, but they have sat unexplored in my Ancestry.com since the fall.

In May I began to pick up the reins again, blogging on my Musings Blog, joining a couple of Genealogy Societies, engaging fellow Genealogists on Facebook, and Twitter, being invited to join a Dougherty Genealogy Community on MyFamily.com, and making plans to attend my 1st Genealogy Convention, in Burbank at the end of this month.

Thanks.Having these things has helped alot.I am planning on having some of the idems mounted in a shadow box. Things like those are what it's all about.

I am glad you enjoyed the blog. I am hoping to let people know that there is so much history in the old newspaper and not just obituaries as usually that is what they look for. I have found so much in reading them that I wouldn't have known otherwise. I really love the Reunion ones where they list everyone that came. It gives you names that would be their cousins, nieces and nephews that you may not have known.
I read them everytime I get a chance.
