1973 Welcome Home!!!

After all of the heartbreaking discoveries of distant cousins who did not return from war either from being killed in action or missing in action, I found one who came home after being captured and held prisoner for five years.  What joy his family must have felt to learn he was coming home and then to finally have him in their arms.  WELCOME HOME WAYNE!

Not Twins

While researching a family I ran into a pair of sisters..  Nothing unusual about that.  But these two born in the same year are not twins.  I know it is possible, I just don't see it a lot.  One was born in January, the other December.

Genealogy Talk

I was asked to give a short talk about researching and genealogy.  I was a bit nervous as public speaking isn't in my comfort area, but I love genealogy and love to talk about it so decided to do it.  I am glad I did.  I had a great audience and after I got over my nerves, it was a tiny bit fun.  Thanks ladies and gents for making the presentation easier for me.
