Hi everyone,
Just to let you know my computer seems to need some help. Having been fighting to get and receive mail. Then things disappear. I wonder about hacking but I pray not.
Having received data on new JONES information, new HUFFMAN/HOFFMAN information, DUVALL information and the list goes on. Even found another link to the Indian and Jones in MASS.
Grandson found my old AOL mail and I am trying to retrieve it and the names of kin I communicated with back then.
Alas Cox.net has been a nightmare since their fancy upgrade last summer and it is not getting better and once this machine comes from the shop, they better have fixed their broken links and damaged lines we learned about talking to 9 different Cox personal on Saturday whom are all over the USA.
BEAR WITH ME PLEASE. Maybe after June I can replace the computer. I have learned they should be able to upgrade it a bit.
Our society completed judging the applications for the Scholarship we give.
I created a new sheet for judging the applications, thanks cousin Bethel Williams for the ideas to use.
Fred learned he lost another friend yesterday. He went by the FRA Club 289 waiting for tires for his car to be delivered to Courtney's. This last month has been implying that God is very lonely.
We have lost friends and family some close, some distant but it's like almost daily. We bury his friend on Sunday here locally. His children went to school with ours. No word on the new situation yet, nor on our dear friends daughter. Our hearts are hurting. Son lost his father in law two weeks ago.
Yes we have new tires on the car. I shall see how it handles tomorrow. Fred says better and Dan is looking for tires for the pickup. I may end up driving the pickup up for a bit. I loved doing it before he parked it. I started with a Studebaker car then a Dodge pickup then Ford pickup. My first vehicle I purchased was a Ford pickup.
Fred's back seems to be better right now but I dare not say much because it comes and goes.
Also found a home for a bunch of binders and books and am so glad they will be in good hands.
O and the Padres won their ball game tonight. Fred watched the game, I saw part of it.
MY phone most of you have and this seems to be working you can reach me here by replying to the blog page. OR go to my Facebook page, sorry and Thanks.
My I Pad is just not a computer. Blessings all.

Finding Kin, It seems to work.
As I am working along to locate connections to the tree, I got a call from a dear friend.
I looked up my tree because so many of my lines double intersect and sent the data to them.
Yes we match.
So I took my I Pad and played, finding I have 8 or 9 more connections to members in our society.
I knew of three of them, anywhere from 4 to 8th cousins in distance.
For Facebook friends I lost count of the potential links and links I knew were correct.
Do you have duel links in your tree? I am a double Duvall descendant. I am a double Plants/Hoffman ie Huffman descendant. I am at least a double and maybe a triple on my Dad's Jones lineage.
Having brother and sister from one line marry sister and brother of the other family.
Also have 1st cousins of one side marry 1st cousins on the other side.
Not quite my own Grandma but it gets fun when linking out and sharing.
In working through this tumbling mess I found another WRIGHT line. Another ALLEN line, another JONES line not seen before and the list goes on.
The Huffman/Hoffman lines are the same family, spelling was changed but same family.
Also DNA showed lineage to another potential duplicate line.
Have a Blessed Easter.
My Eye Surgery went well with the left eye, My Right eye went well until after 2 weeks and I got an infection in it. They found a leaf particle or?? in it and cornea scratched so am behind in sharing data.
Tonight eye felt better so I did some reading and checking data on I Pad.
Also found that I am related to many interesting people and musicians and theater are a big part in the background of our tree. O yes we have a few politicians also, writers and playwrights.
More Scottish lines are showing also. Not everything We're Related sends us is accurate but the ones I read this evening are. Nice to see so many Facebook friends are really kin also.
Yup, We are all Related. Blessed Happy Easter, and Blessed Passover.

Tombstones, Dates and Confusion.
Lots of chatter lately about Tombstones, non matching dates and documents.
Having learned that tombstones were expensive to carve many times if an error was made the family did not correct, it due to fees. Once in a long time a carver would re do at a limited fee.
Court records tend to have less errors but not always, even Census records as Randy Seaver showed the genealogy group a week ago or so.
I like the fact that in New York you wrote your data in their book in your hand. Which started my confusion because the gravestone said something different. I had the Grave information first, when I found his birth information and it was signed by his father I had to contact others to learn what happened. Fortunately it was just a few days off, so maybe in grief they were told wrong or the maker made an error.
We find these errors more than we wish but we are all human and errors do exist.
Wondering if other states had them enter the information in their hand or the court person wrote it in.

Save an Activity We Need
To many have nothing to do and no place to go.Did you know if you are not balanced that skating builds body balance?
Did you know it encourages people to share and get along?
Did you know it can help youth to assimilate with others and adults?
Please help to save our last of the skating rinks here in San Diego area.
Our children skated there and met other nationalities and enjoyed the community.
Some of our friends lived near this rink.
I hope you will all go and sign the petition to save this building. and skating rink. Please and thanks.
You have skating competitions. hockey, figure, speed, dance and roller derby for some starts.

Family News Dick Thomas son of Marie Pentico Thomas
My husband lost a cousin this last week. One that I hold dear for many reasons.
I met him once I think, but Aunt not around to verify. But reading his Obituary I learned
maybe one reason why we heard from him and his wife all the years of their marriage and ours.
We married 5 July 1959 and Dick and Violet married Sept. 20, 1959. Both were military at the time of their marriages. Fred was USN and Dick was USAF.
As I had not met my in laws, nervousness was present on how I would be received. To get a letter from his family members welcoming me into their group was very helpful. But it never stopped with
Dick and Violet. After Violet passed, Dick still kept in touch and we shared cards and notes then swapped information on Facebook the last few years. He offered and fixed pictures for me.
So many little things that just endeared him to me and them before her death. We even made phone calls.
Thanks Aunt Marie Pentico Thomas and Uncle Herb Thomas for raising such gracious children.
I feel very blessed to have met all those around when there in 1970.
My parents families were from Iowa also Dad being born in Waterloo, area. Mom's family was in Appanoose and Monroe Counties and that region before moving to Wyoming and Mom being born.
Much family is still in these areas and we communicate often.
My parents married in Wheatland, Wyo. later they moved to Greybull, Wyo and we then went to California.
