Dusting this off with a DAR update
There have been many obstacles in my way both genealogy-wise as well as life in general. However on a happy note, once I'm in I plan on finishing up the additional 5 lines I've found so far and submit those. I'm in no rush to get those in but I would be honored to have all of them recognized.
I'll update more soon!

Geneaology Book Ideas?
Tuesday, April 19, 2011
Summer is quickly approaching and once my classes are done I will be hitting the geneaology trail!
My question for you all is:
What genealogy books do you recommend?
I would love to get a list started. Summer is the only chance I have to read non school related books so I try to fit in as much as I can!
Thanks so much!

Listening to the past...Part 2
Saturday, April 2, 2011
Here's the follow up post to the Listening to the Past try-it my daughter earned on our last trip up to NJ.
We had a blast and it was so fun to share stories of the family and visit landmarks with my daughter and niece.
The activities we accomplished while we were there:
1) Community Stories 4) Tell Stories of the Past 2)If these Buildings Could Talk - While in NJ, my father and I shared stories of with the girls, both my mother's side and my father's side. Starting from when they came over to the United states, the wars they fought in and up thru the current members. It was so much fun and they had great questions. Just driving thru my hometown I was able to show my daughter where the family used to have farms and where their legacies still remain.
3) Visit the Oldest Cemetery - This may not be the absolute oldest cemetery in the town however it is definitely one of the oldest. I gave the girls the task of finding the oldest grave and off they went! We paid respect to both revolutionary war, civil war, and WWI soldiers in our family.
I had so much fun with my father and the girls. I can't wait to go back home to NJ to do more research and take more pictures. Thanks for sharing this experience with me!
