One last thing to post tonight. It goes hand in hand with what I posted earlier.
The third child I found in my grandfather’s first marriage was named Julia Mae Katherine Spangler. This means that I had to tell my youngest daughter that she is no longer an original! She had always said there are no [...]

Once again I have a post that has nothing to do with genealogy. However, it is something to do with my website design which is where I host all my genealogy research!

I thought long and hard about whether to contribute anything to The Carnival of Genealogy this time around. It’s not that I don’t want to, believe me I enjoy contributing and enjoy reading and promoting The Carnival of Genealogy!

I know I usually just write about my family research and such but today I wanted to let everyone in on a script that I have found very useful for my web site. I really don’t know if it could be incorporated into a blog or not but I’m sure if it could you all [...]

This is the first picture that popped into my mind when I read about Smile For The Camera. I know it’s not that old but it is just so neat being able to see how close my son and his mother are! If you look at his eye, he [...]

OK, I just have to post this one. I know I don’t have many readers and that there are many genealogy bloggers out there with blogs that are so much better than mine. So, why do I even bother to do this?
Listen, as I stated in an earlier post, I am not about stats. I [...]

OK, I knew that there was a new version of WordPress available but I am one of those folks who hates to have to upgrade something. Most of the time the updates are to fix something important or improve the program. There are some times though that the upgrade is simply nonsense. Just look at [...]
