Now I almost did not get this posted today. Why you ask? Well I've been sucked in by ancestory.com. I used to do geneology type stuff about 10 years ago. There wasn't as much on the web then and eventually I did all I could do on my own. Well fast forward to now after watching too many shows of "Who do you think you are" and I signed up for a month of ancestory.com.
ITS AWESOME...
For example... Want to check out a picture of my great great great grandfather and grandmother. (supposedly I mean how really can I verify this?) Still very cool. This was probably taken around 1860 something??
Now this picture could or could not be hooey, but I did find out for sure what my great great grandfather's name was and that he fought in the Civil War Ohio Infantry 57th Co. C.
That I CAN verify!! I have the paperwork. All of it. Photocopies. Too cool..
Oh yes and this is my greatgreatgreatgreatgreat grandfather and grandmother's marriage certificate. Yeah thats 5x great. June 26th 1775 in New Jersey. How can you not think that is freaking cool?
Anyways... why I posted..yes...
I made a card for this week's challenge at Jinglebelles card challenge. Glitter glam it up week. Here's mine.
Thanks for coming by and checking it out. I made it to the gym today also. Score! Thats right I'm getting dang good at reading census's and getting toned up. Heck of a Monday to ya!
