Feels like chopped liver after geeking out over ancestry.com over the weekend.
I went through some files of my mom's tonight and found the source documents for the trees she had. I should scan and upload to ancestry.com.
Also found a ton of stuff from my Grandpa's military days in the 40's. Orders, military airfare coupons, gas rations, and more. I know some WWII buff would probably love a bunch of it.
That's really cool, SuziQ.
Gah. I hated the hot weather we were having but one advantage was I was going to bake this cake in the solar oven - impossible to overcook. It's been overcast so I used the inside oven. And the damned timer didn't work so now it's not burned but it's definitely not moist. Dammit.
Oh, oh. I also found some 40's era Telegrams. CJ was fascinated by them. I have sent and received some Telegrams when KCD was in the Navy and that was the only way to communicate faster than a letter. And they looked nothing like these. Really neat.
SUZI, MAYBE WE COULD BE RELATED!
It's actually WAY more possible that Paul is related to people here via blood or marriage than me, sadly. My people stayed on their island until the island voted them off and sent them to Canada, so.
His family's kind of the traditional US melting pot stereotype.
Chester, Clare and LOTS of Filmers.
(2) If I were the third husband and knew about the first 2, I don't think I would have married her. I mean -- DAMN.
seriously. either she drove them to suicide or was really good at covering up a murder. Either way, doesn't bode well for #3. OTOH, some chicks just got it like that.
The main family lines I have are Coolidge and Bradshaw. I'm following other trails, but those are the ones I have hardcopy documentation on.

Maybe she just went for the moody Byronic types?
Last week I weirdly ended up correcting my 80-something cousin about family history from the 50s. She thought Dad was a Korean War vet—but he was stationed in peacetime Germany in the late 50s and the only thing he fought during his Army stint was sobriety.
