OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!! I am doing a major project...I guess I have been for many, many years. However, I feel like I am getting closer and closer...not to being done but having something to print out which will be presentable to others. I am working on family history...I know many believe that is something someone does when they are a member of the church. I don't just put names and dates on the page. I feel like I have a personal relationship with so many of these people. I have met a whole new line of the family in the last couple months and it is so overwhelming and wonderful. I am so excited!! I have been emailing a first cousin of my dad's who has done sooo much work on a line I thought was lost...he has sent SOOOO many pictures!!! I have known who my Great Granddad Moore was for so many years...never could put a face to him...DONNY HAD A PICTURE...of him and my Great Grandmother...also, on the Hose line...I have a picture of my Great Granddad Hose!!! It is just amazing. I thought my dad looked like his dad, my Grandpa Frey...however, I see him in the Moore and Hose line too! I have a picture now of my Grandma Frey's brother Paul Hose. My dad's brother looks so much like him!!!! MAN, this is sooo wonderful. I want to get as many pictures as I can before I print out the book...I am hoping for at least 5 generations of pictures. Am I being to unrealistic? I don't think so...AHHHHHHHHH!!!! This is sooooo frustrating and great!
Well, enough of that...
I can't sleep very well anymore so I stay up and do family history. It has paid off. It is addictive and rewarding. Definitely has saved my life in the last year. Jeff is a family history widower sometimes.
I am adding a few pictures on here.
1. Children of Margaret and Frank Frey on their parents 50 wedding anniversary in 1970: Front Row l-r: Pauline May Frey Shumaker, MaryAnn Frey Thompson, Waneta June Frey Riner, Patricia Lou Frey Coney.
