Comments on: Just When I Thought It Was Close … http://www.kenspangler.com/blog/2007/06/25/just-when-i-thought-it-was-close/ In genealogy, the line between truth and fiction is sometimes vague!

You are right, I am doing this for my children! Sometimes we tend to forget that, don't we! My oldest daughter, who is 15, is really interested in my genealogy research so that is something to help me out. I think it is time to start her training! :-) As far as the Spangler part, I'm not really sure. I haven't done a lot of research on my Spangler roots but I have a cousin who has and she says we are supposed to be related but she hasn't found the connection yet. Perhaps we should trade notes via email? Thanks again, Ken Randy,

Please pass the mother-in-law's house and pick up all of the stuff that your wife wants you to collect, catalog, scan and keep. Please try to use one of your closets or bookcases for the stuff. Been there, done that! My brother-in-law captured all of the stuff from their dad's place, and put it all in a dresser drawer and boxes in the garage. I've been through it all, and made notes, but don't have copies of it. My wife captured some pictures and ephemera, but has no interest in the genealogy stuff. My advice is to sit back and enjoy it - after all, it is your kids ancestry, right? Are they interested in genealogy at all? Look at blogging as your therapy time - tell her you HAVE to blog because you'll let down your readers if you don't. Cheers -- Randy PS. Are you from the York County PA Spangler family? I am.
