Yes, that is the same family geneology project Morgan did last year only she remade the board completely and added quite a bit–and this year made it to the state competition with it!

Is that the famous genealogy chart of some time ago. I think I remember it. It looks as if it was fleshed out since then. So she must have done a lot of work on it.

I sure wish I could do as much with my ancestors but I know we lost a lot of things to bombs, especially on my mother’s side. I heard that one of my father’s cousins was trying to get together with more scattered relatives. On his side, both parents came from families of over a dozen.

My brother started doing the genealogy for my mother’s and his wife’s family. That was a good thing because both my mother and his wife’s mother have passed away. His mother-in-law was the last of her particular line. She fled from Latvia in WW II with her older brother, leaving behind at their insistence her parents with 3 younger boys. She did find out that they were all killed by the Russians. Now she lives on in her 4 children and 5 grandchildren.

I’ve missed this place!
