How did they expect them to learn</p><p>what the country was founded on and why we have been successful until more recently.</p><p><br /></p><p>Learning voting is down and they / we do not even know what the voting is doing or how it is</p><p>done and why did it become like this. Who would want to cheat our country of. our God given </p><p>rights. ? It seems many do and probably do not know they are evening doing that. </p><p><br /></p><p>There was a time that no matter who ran, they had the country at heart not their pocket or their own </p><p>goals or someone else who has coerced them. </p><p>Side bar is I am walking more, praying more, contemplating more and thankfully sleeping better.</p><p>I wish you all the same great future if we can go back to caring for each other, smiling to each other, </p><p>a hug once in a while and helping a stranger no strings attached.</p><p>Reading about families passed, many did these and in the end most times it made us a better </p><p>community and country. Sometimes I just want to say SMILE, we could be like the </p><p>Ukraine, Russia, Congo and many other places so out of whack.</p><p>We can go to the grocery store, maybe not buy what we would like but the store is there.</p><p>We can go to church if we desire or at least follow on TV otherwise if you have TV.</p><p>Any idea how many do not have TV or Radio or phones etc. ?</p><p>Here many buy clothes via the season in many places the clothes they own are what the </p><p>wear for many seasons. </p><p><br /></p><p>Blessings to everyone for we are true earthlings schools missed teaching us much so we </p><p>would meld better over the years. O not just schools but parents, cousins, aunts, uncles and </p><p>neighbors are needed to step up and wake up to the needs our world needs via our youth.</p><p><br /></p>Susi's Quarterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00722985357289434741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288127155325310682.post-47708157692667013962024-01-12T16:16:00.000-08:002024-01-12T16:16:57.131-08:002024 January Has Arrived. A Found book about our Huffman's was a surprise.<p> January 2024 is here. The wind has blown and the air has changed. WOW it is cold, windy and </p><p>we had a bit of rain. We have gotten 1/2 inch since 1 January, this year. </p><p><br /></p><p>Talked to siblings and family and many are in very cold frigid places. Some will be more frigid </p><p>in the next couple of days. Brother has gotten a wee bit of snow but very bitter wind environment.</p><p>Aunt has much same and much colder than brother, Cousin lives near her thankfully. </p><p>Son has gotten drift of snow to almost cover grass but is due a snow dump tonite. Family in Des Moines</p><p> IA area have been hit hard. Family everywhere is feeling the affect of this storm.</p><p><br /></p><p> We pray this does not affect your own family as you are reading this. It is going to be a mess </p><p> at the Football Games. </p><p><br /></p><p> Hoping everyone stays safe and has a great start to this new year. </p><p><br /></p><p> Hope you gained ground on some of your Genealogy in the last year.

Thank You God. Sis, DIL, Bro, Dear Friend, Future family member and all others in need. I think we are being told to re think and re do and do more for others. </p><p>It surely does not hurt to be more caring and sensitive to other needs. It is nice to see some of our political staff are firm believers in God and having Faith. It may be what pulls us through this mess the world in now.</p><p>Today I found some papers that are so great to read. I am triple blessed. Having moved things so much due to family intake and outtake I had misremembered where they were.

Genealogy is Fun.<p> Greeting, genealogy can be fun and educational and exciting. Some times you learn you descend from a well known person and sometimes a poster wanted person. </p><p><br /></p><p> What I would love to see is genealogy in schools, teaching them we are all human beings with good points and not so good points. </p><p><br /></p><p> We only inherit a small piece of so many in our background. Thinking if as students, we learn we are not so different, we may not want to work against each other but work together to see how much further we can go, do, and excel in life.</p><p><br /></p><p> Our world gets smaller every day in so many ways. So thankful for the friends and acquaintances we have developed.</p><p><br /></p><p> Youth need help understanding, if you stop and smell a rose, your life my garner more riches than you ever thought possible. Helping others comes with large rewards, sooner or later, generally when not expected.</p><p><br /></p>Susi's Quarterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00722985357289434741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288127155325310682.post-67695231769388813052023-10-23T19:03:00.001-07:002023-10-30T13:28:11.580-07:00Hurray, It on Again<p> Clearing bookcases, files, folders etc. seems I filed data after a trip to Michigan that I could use now.</p><p>Located books I forgot I had.

Having been requesting </p><p>genealogists to share data all the time I have done genealogy and that has been at least 50 years.</p><p>Yes Mom indoctrinated me in as a youth. Then First born near death and I had to cold call my in -laws</p><p>I had yet to meet and ask serious medical questions. Husband in situation he could not be reached.</p><p>Military. </p><p> I learned quickly they were awesome and the news they gave me helped to save our child.</p><p>Many years later we found Mom's line and theirs interlinked, 60 yrs later. I believe it was third cousins</p><p>a way back shared kin. BROWN. </p><p> At the meeting some members who've never attended any of my classes, shared places and names </p><p> about areas I have researched and some been to with kin in. Another now deceased member Virginia </p><p>Taylor shared some of this area with me years ago.. She was also a cousin we learned about ten years </p><p>before her leaving us. </p><p> Having also worked for the Golden Gate Forum by George Ferguson on AOL, having covered the </p><p>Mid-Atlantic region for nearly 10 years for them. Yes, my shelves have more information also. </p><p>Much of my Mothers lines came from Maryland, Old Virginia and Pennsylvania. </p><p> I went to Pennsylvania in 1994. Spent two weeks with family kin that were as awesome as what</p><p>my Grandfather had always told me. His request to me was <go to Greene Co. PA and meet, our family.>.</p><p> Anxiously await to hear from new faces that I am sure one may link to mine. One Guest did </p><p>not share the name only the area. That does not make genealogy grow. The information is helpful</p><p>but having learned from some of the best Genealogists around, sharing is so vital to finding the "lost name </p><p>in the plethora of names, places and times of the past." An example is Pennsylvania's boundary </p><p>changes over the years of development. The government changed also over a period of time. The</p><p> southwest region of the state was claimed by Virginia and changed in 1780's. Also the same applied to</p><p>Maryland, they claimed about 50 miles up into Pennsylvania, verses Pennsylvania claimed into . ,</p><p> Maryland. This being the reason for the Mason - Dixie Line which was done more than once to </p><p>make all happier.</p><p> Ohio was part of the early package on the west. Much of my kin were in all three regions early. Of </p><p>course , the government was expanding. originally Virginia claimed to the Mississippi River, and north to</p><p> Iowa region etc.. More to follow just wish more attended classes.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Susi's Quarterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00722985357289434741noreply@blogger.com042C34WXM+26-41.8524337 -178.0669375-70.162667536178844 146.7768125 -13.542199863821153 -142.9106875tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288127155325310682.post-11262873188485465922023-09-11T13:38:00.000-07:002023-09-11T13:38:14.520-07:00FAMILY FACTS, UNKNOWN FACTS BY SOME, WHAT TO DO TO CORRECT SITUATION<p> </p><p> For some days now, I have been trying to deal with some very important information regarding </p><p>Dad's family. I thought all of Dad's siblings were aware of this family information regarding a</p><p>situation. Sort of strange because Aunt Bethel knew, Uncle Gerald knew, always thought the closeness </p><p>of Bethel and Muriel, that A Muriel knew. For their older sister to not know has left me nWe, I thought</p><p>were close. No I was in HI when she passed I think. Maybe she didn't think it important for </p><p>children to know.. </p><p> Dad being the oldest witness this situation several times. Our Grandparents divorced. We all knew this.</p><p>I got a IN YOUR FACE EDUCATION by my Grandma and my Dad around midnight the week of my</p><p> graduation.</p><p> This started as topic about Dad and his siblings past, Mom said. I can tell you now it was the best </p><p>thing to happen between, Gmom and Dad. Much healing in his heart and hers came about and I saw it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not going to post the whole story here, but some cousins need to be made aware that some things </p><p>weren't as they seemed. They missed getting to know a Grandfather with a college background, sent</p><p>to France to be a Chef. He told me he married the woman he wanted to and would love her til death</p><p>took them away. That statement made July 1958 in Casper, Wyo. by him to our family. He never wanted </p><p>the divorce.</p><p> We found him with family help and friends help in 1952. He was in Casper Wyo. sick with pneumonia.</p><p>Something we learned he got to often. He came to visit us and stayed for a period of time. I thought</p><p>Aunt Etta had the boys over but many times when company come they were to busy. to tell family hi.</p><p><br /></p><p>He would catch little Lucky's tears when he had a fit and say grabbing a glass, cup, jar , what ever was handy and put it up to his face. "We can't let them steers get away." Lucky would immediately stop his tantrum or unhappiness,.It did not matter which. HE just stopped and looked at Grandpa. What a clever </p><p>thing for him to do. He taught Mom to put some pineapple juice in Navy beans to remove the gas. I still do it and it really cuts gas reaction. He taught us other neat things about being in the kitchen.O yes, never put lid on beans it keeps gas in system. Almost forgot that one. He shared many hints with us.</p><p>He could make a leg of lamb be the tastiest piece of meat ever created. I never could duplicate it.</p><p>We saw him last the same year 1958 in Casper when he again had pneumonia very very bad .</p><p>He cried when he told me about the divorce. He never blamed Ida. But he put much information </p><p>about his Mother in Law as part of issue. When he and Dad explained situation I could feel the pain.</p><p>He didn't dislike her either but some things allowed were not proper. This so helped Dad and I to</p><p> understand things better. She Gmom did as taught not as appropriate for others. </p><p>I was thrilled Dad could finally talk nice things about his Mom. He did love her underneath.</p><p>She stayed I think with all her children in her last years and she lived in my home in Coronado in the</p><p>1966-7 time period. Later in this house for 6 months after we bought and had come back from HI. 1970</p><p>Aunt Jennie was very ill with cancer and she rotated to Uncle Gerald's (Jerry) and here per stress</p><p>and be here as her son needed her support.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can not talk of some of the past but Aunt Bethel, suffered much as others did. She told me many times </p><p>her Dad never hurt any of them and tried to help often but she (G) was upset and did not want the children to have any help but hers even when Bethel had no shoes and Etta no coat in 33 degree weather. Which.. caused Dad to dislike the pain his siblings had to endure. I was glad Dad and her were on decent terms</p><p>when she passed. He truly felt bad at all they missed due to attitude. Yes by more than one I suspect it was affecting all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes pride can harm the best of Situations.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Susi's Quarterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00722985357289434741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288127155325310682.post-5629485830075474152023-09-09T15:50:00.002-07:002023-09-09T15:50:54.469-07:00August , September and November data October not yet received. <p> <span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">My Report for August event and September Event and November Event</span></p><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> November Event ,Time to be Thankful—What or whom are you most thankful regarding your Ancestors?</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Please I wish all Members to attend and share this experience with others.

They are the ones who bought those as slaves and sent them all over to make money and to cut back on the internal fighting that was upsetting their goals. In Africa, I do not think many have studied our past history especially of the world. WE do not owe the black??? enslaved people the Netherlands did it they owe us all something. Those who were shipped here were truly saved from a slavery they did not even precive . We in turned saved them from what those left behind has had to survive to live through. Many tribes did not survive these major upheavels in Africa. I read the paper today and they still are squabbling instead of attempting to work together and change everyones lives there. Amazing how beautiful this place must have been. Granted after early people bought slaves some were very mean and ugly but many were not mean or ugly.

Hibben, Presentation was Great Jean W. Hibben did a great presentation today as always. I tend to be a bit bias since her hubby was
a distant cousin. Thinking of them often.
Karen Y made a terrific comment about writing down the family lore or stories. Being blessed we have had
several written down and they were very factual. I suspect writing down at the time tends to make it more
accurate.
Having an Indian lineage not proven has been interesting. One lineage they contacted me . WHOOPEE.
Great Uncle Claude had the FOULK/ FOLK family history done in the mid 1950's. His wife my Great Aunt
said he read it and promptly burnt it. Much to her horror. Then word got out he had Indian lineage in
his background. He didn't want to have Indian heritage. Leave it to me, I went to see him and we discussed
this topic. Saying he loved me very much and recognizing we had some of that lineage in our tree he decided to
accept it. But the book was gone. I have not found who the Genealogist was who did the book.
The irony of all this was his sister my Grandmother always told us that her Grandmother taught them many
Indian traditions and medical knowledge. She walked them in the woods and talked about plants and trees etc.
When she visited she shared so many stories I wish I had written down. Those stories may have resolved many
of the dead ends I seem to keep running into. She also made various drinks for us to use for sore throats and
coughs. And she said that her Grandmother was half Indian. I beleive from CT. At this time no proof.
Ironic, my so called (adopted) Ggrandma whom was my cousins Great Grandmom whom I loved very much. Did that very
thing. Matilda Richoli ie Granda.
She in turn took Bob, Don and I out to pick stuff for her making cough drops for the winter this being
Bob and Don and Mike's Ggrandmom Granda R. We shared this the other day in a couple of phone calls.
In reading some of the data in this book about part of our JONES line I had to ?? a couple of comments.
Again had it been written down we may have had more knowledge factual.
My cousin Don did a super great job on putting this together. So glad he did, now wish he would
give me a few comments or page about my Dad, His Uncle. I am going to ask him to.
This book is about the Ladies in my cousins life. He said he was tired of reading about the men.
The Mom's etc deserved more credit.. Thanks again. Don Morelli
A great cousin and big brother over the years as was his brothers Bob and Michael. Thanks Again guys.

As we reviewed our bylaws I was thrilled to see what part of it said.
In attempting to get everyone to share, please let me explain.
When you are looking in a specific place or book and you know your fellow
genealogist may have a name there. IT is a courtesy to check the index for their
surname as well.
IF we all knew whom was researching which area we develop a larger pool of
information. Never have not seen this work sooner or later.
As I was explaining to a member a few years back I helped a fellow member dig
around for data and later she gave me a book she no longer needed. I did not think
it was needed but did not say no.
Believe me a month ago I picked up that book and flipped through the index and
wow Not believing my eyes. YES on 1 page I had three lines and one I had been
hunting for. The three interconnecting lines are related to my lines. Talk
about thankful. Glad I did a retake before preparing to recycle the book.
Genealogy is about sharing and caring for each other and their needs ie names, places and
dates. One truly never knows when a new clue may pop up. You can look for years
and not see it but suddenly there it is.
More than two eyes are always better than one set.
At one time we met and every other month we would have everyone whom attended
state the surnames looked for and places so maybe someone else will also get included
especially if they are looking for data in the same area.
Best of Luck and share places and names with fellow members so we can help each other
resolve our missed ancestors be found.
I am going to start putting the data here for all to look at whom is researching in which
states and then what the names are. I am almost positive we will find some links that were
previously not known.
Lots of luck so now share your 5 Generation charts with me and the states or places you
are looking. YES, sharing is part our Purpose.
*******
The Purpose of the Society is to promote general interest in the related fields of genealogy,
history, and heraldry by individual and group effort. The activities shall include, but not be
limited to:

Taxation Code, in cooperation with other like organizations. This Corporation is organized exclusively
for the charitable purposes with in the meaning of the section 501(c))3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
I wanted to share this since the comments abound the other day about doing genealogy at our last meeting.
Sometimes for joy of helping others more than covers not finding what we hoped for ourselves.
Thanks to all our members and their caring and sharing and helping us make this many years as an
orgainization. NOW do you remember how many years? Of course not most of you did not start with us but
joined as after you found us or moved here or developed the desire to do Genealogical Research on self or some
one in your family.

Yesterdays class was very informative and I think the coming classes will be awesome.
It has been suggested we try and another way to get our members more active and to get
those interested in Genealogy to attend our Zoom or regular meetings at the Library.
Having had a tenative schedule this fell into place very well. We are going to be
finishing up the year with some real cool events.
So we can talk about books at the libraries to help us, Newspapers at the libraries to
research. Maps to see the changes and places that people lived. Why you say because as
as a previous speaker told some of us eons ago, not all land is flat or hilly or swampy.
Rivers and creeks and lakes and ponds exist also for the people of the past when settling
in new places.
I loved the idea that if the county seat was 20 miles one way over a river and up a
mountain that many went to the nearest Office to file their claims and it was accepted.
There by you have to look around the area you are looking into for data, it may not be
n the county youy expect.
Also remember this was a growing country. Boundaries changed often in the development of our
land. Realizing Virginia claimed to the River Mississippi if I recall right. Also the Ohio River
caused claims to change. Before the states west of Pa were developed they were carried by
their eastern states for records.
Look at how the counties changed in Pennsylvania. Virginia was doing the same due to trappers and
land seekers and the Native environment. Many Natives were friendly many were not. Many arrivals were
very negative to the Native population. This applies also to Massachussets and Vermont and RI etc.
I suspect it applies to every state.
The type of books to look at can be from Historical, to Cooking, to Gardening, to Political to
to find the information one may need.
Today so much is done on a computer I fear some of the basics for research is being lost.
Some of our big Money sites are changing so fast and not expressing themselves well. I think
we will always need: a Log of some format to keep track of the books we have covered, whom we have
contacted, what was successsful and what wasn't. A five Generation Chart, A family Group Sheet will
be a must on line or off. As a member said yesterday, " sometimes when I get a new name I have to
revert back to the paper charts to know where this person belongs".
If you are only working a Dirct Line it is much harder to fill in the blanks. Liking to gather the
information and then decide what to use for me is the best.
Also working with another person, a Cousin, Sibling, really works to ones advantage. I have done this
on our Huffman-Hoffman Line and will share the link. WE have worked this site since the mid 1990's.
As family blanks were found we filled them in, many relatives helped us and shared data. We are
working the Jones tree the same way. Alas I am not sure that line will ever have a solid answer
for the oldest known ancestor. A Complete another story so stay tuned.
O Yes, when at the library you may meet someone looking for the same information as you also.
Especially if in a Genealogical Library like LDS or a Genealogical Library. Carlsbad gave me
five cousins of distance and much data. My goal when I helped start our society was to have the
largest genealogical collection in this region. I thought then and I think know with the volume
of people it could come true. I can be contacted at this site or SusiCP1@gmail.com or CVGS in
Chula Vista, CA.
www.ourfamilyhistories.com We are also on Facebook still gathering in the kin. Greene Co. PA
created lots of family yet today.

I love fall for doing research. Right now we have raindrops falling.
Yes, it is only August. Remains of Tropical storm affecting the south west USA.
As I was working through piles of information to be filed I found this really neat book.
Seneca County Genealogical Society printed Seneca County, Ohio Ancestral Charts. 1990.
On a page in the book I found the mingle of three of my names about 80 years before I did it.
I do not know if the creator of the chart is alive but I am sure the society may have a few
answers to my questions. After all that is what we do is Help Others as a society.
Having looked in Ohio data on these names but in very different counties. Never dreaming,
A STONE UNTURNED was about to show me why we have to dig a wee deeper each time we think we
are done.
Having other books that have done that to me also over the years.
Curious has other socities bound their charts?
Someone said to much work to alphabetize. I said that is what computer progrms are for.
Personally I couldd not care as long as I could read the information and maybe find another
clue to my missing pieces. Yes 60 years of research and still many missing pieces and yet some
of kin kept good mental or physical records. Thank You Ancestors. Thanks DAD for all those trips
back to Wyoming and the other neighboring states. Thanks for the Iowa and Kansas kin that would
meet us in WYO. Luckily in some lines I met 3 generations back of me.
Genealogy is fun work, and can be very stressful or relaxing.
One year I went to Michigan to the National Convention in Grand Rapids. Getting to glimpse
at some of the President Ford's Museum information was far more fun than food. Yes on the carrier
on display was a mock up of a E2 Hawkeye that my husband was associated with and made tools to make
it easier to work on and save the Navy money. Thanks Fred E Pentico. He actually did more than one.
It was cool to see Mrs Ford in a fur coat. Today that is not acceptable. I always wanted a stole.
My how our times have changed and genealogy is changing witih it. Doctors are now using DNA to help
make People well and to help some to not get sick . Everything just keeps changing. Others use it to
find an organ donor, a parent, sibling or child.
So onward and upward and lets see what more we can learn. But lets do it together. It is so much more
fun.
Wanting you to all bring a 5Generation Chart to our Bonita Sunnyside Meeting next Tuesday. You pick
which member missing you want to find. See if anyone else in our group is researching in that area.
They may have been stumbling over your ancestors looking for theirs.
Tid Bit to Add, Anna's Resturant is no more since covid we meet once a month at the. Bonita-Sunnyside Library, in
Bonita, CA Next to Sherrif Offices and Museum for Bonita. third Tues every month 1 to 3 pm. Thanks

It seems to be that lately there are many places we have forgotten or have not ever used.
People tend to shy away from lots of the paid sites out there. Nor can I blame them. Having stmbled
on to some myself I have the need to share.
Some Old sites are modernized and have lots more data than before. This includes Archives, Museums,
Newspapers, Genealogical Societies everywhere.
Many took the Covid time to start the changes, some are still knee deep in transferring it to our eyes.
Some are even asking for help to transfer it for all to see.
One is my favorite place to chat: with my relatives in Greene Co., PA region. They have a web site and
used to put out an awesome quarterly. Now instead they are putting data up for us to all see. I miss the
Quarterly as many others also do.
Having planned to go list a grouop of sites to dig into, rethinking it and think slower is better.
Facebook has many genealogical sites. Just ask for the county and state and a society and see what
Pops up. As stated early try Greene Co. PA site learn what they are doing to bring more data on line.
Yes do the work to get there.
Cousins and I have a Hoffman and Huffman site also on site
I am moving some of my information over to LinkedIn soon. Many very well kown speakers and genealogists
are on there.
Good Night expect more links and data to be added tomorrow evening.

Thanks to all whom made it so Great.Picnic in a Patio beats a park. The food was very delightful. Hope we do more of them.
Thanks Sam and Terri Seat. Hoping others had a great time sharing the match game.
Seems it made the brain work a bit after food in the body.
Food o yes very good, Braut was excellent, the burgers and Hot dogs looked good too.
Just do not get a Braut often. That. Krauat with Bacon was so good. I truly ate or
tasted nothing that did not have a yummy flavor. I couple of dishes I wanted to find
whom made them and didn't get that lucky.
Everything was good. The company, the environment, and the food and people.
COOKIES yes COOKIES, they were talked about by everyone from when I first stepped in the
door. I finally got a taste after I took a couple home for hubby. The Lemon cookie was very
flavorful. But I loved that mixed chocochip nut mixtured one the best.
Bottom Line everything was GREAT.
Thanks again CVGS.

It was heavy, intense and
not what I expected. Having said that I will explain some of my feelings.
DNA is still growing and changing and becoming more in depth. As Genealogists
should we be following this lineage of research? Or should we be working on the
tree then when the DNA is more stable for finite research, use it?
Having the appreciation of what I have learned and been able to discover in my
parents trees. To confirm a couple of family stories as fact was the frosting on
top. To learn a Great Uncle whom I dearly loved had his tree done. Did not want to
learn what it said and burnt it. WE had a long chat about that when I went to
Wyoming to visit much family with my parents and help drive. I still have not run
down the Indian that was in the tree and if they found it in the 1960's it should be
able to be found today. His thoughts on Indians were muddled. He said he loved me and
having Indian heritage did not make me someone he did not want to know and love.
Mom said when he lost his son he sorta adopted me as the replacement. That side of
family was closer in age than many families but we did have others that were closer.
Finding DNA a terrific topic and have followed it in Archeology before I got into
Genealogy I think gave me a step up in grasping it. 4-H and FFA projects teach
DNA for your animals also for showing and displaying.
The topic today left me wondering if we should do our research or just wait til
the government has it all figured out.
Having many names I have not even cracked the book on, the intense of topic left me
wondering about what names do you choose to research besides immediate parents.
Then you have the medically needed data in some lineages.
Today DNA is being used and followed by various Medical Personel to help families
conquer ailments. It has shown many strides in the improvement of many lives.
It has already helped in my family line and husbands regarding medical.
Just heavy thoughts on the entensity of yesterdays Meeting.

The two hours went fast.
They were amazed at the information one can pull off 5 Generation Charts.
The member had never used them for research before only filled them out.
We used Phyllis Learned's Binders here that Gary Brock had said were the best documentation
and presentation he had ever seen. I am going to use more of them. The amount of names
mentioned floored me also. Since it has been some time since she passed.
Suspecting at least 5 more people in society could use some of her information for
the names we located and where.
Also found information for Shirley Becker and Elizabeth Pentico while doing research.
The 1790 Census has some interesting data collected for those states of that time.
Used a different form of collection and will let you know what it spits our.
Also found more data to send to Nebraska for those there.
So why are we not looking at the 5 Generation Chart binders especially for the
early members information. ? ?
More to follow with some interesting names and places.
We covered aabout 15 names and places. More to follow.

Join us This next meeting will be to get to know each others names, places and needs for help in research.
Having learned and used this method in the past I am asking you to bring a 5 Gen Chart with you filled out
as best you can.
Goal is to learn where help is needed by all. WE have recent members and many older members and seems we
all have blank spots and sometimes big holes in our tree.
Mine seems to do more with females last names. Once in a while a newspaper article or someone elses genealogical
data some one will be confirmed.
Genealogy is not a quick to fix and answer event. In many ways, it is a life long event. When people kept
Diaries we had ancestors who could reference back to earlier times. I have not written in mine in eons.
Also if you have your computer or laptop bring it along if you have research data on it to help you.
1 to 3 pm. June 20 Bonita-Sunnyside Library, 4375 Bonita Rd. Bonita, Ca 91902
Educational Chairperson CVGS
We hope to build on this theme for the summer. July 18th 1 to 3 pm
August 22 1 to 3 pm
Having learned we can have little meetings in between if interested, in patio area.
I will probably be gone for end of August to a reunion if all goes well.

Washburn Iowa area. HIS MOM HAD TO GET HIM A DELAYED BIRTH CERTIFICte in 1948?
He was getting a job that carried Social Security. Punching Cattle in Wyo and milking cows
in California did not apply. He was going to work for Hunt & Behrens Feed Company in Petaluma, Ca. Eons later he retired from their services.
He worked hard and assisted his nephews with their FFA Projects. When he bought our home in Valley Ford, Ca. we had to add indoor plumbing. I helped him do these things. Being young and small I could get under the house and help guide pipes to the holeso in the intended bathroom and sink in kitchen which was a large room with narrow stairs to access upstairs. Previous owner had two lean twos, one that held a bucket for washing up and dishes. The other lean two held canned products, fresh fruits and vegtables. Also lots of old newspapers to start the wood stove to cook on. Dad took the single bedroom wall out also the wall between kitchen area and living room. This realigned a real living room, kitchen &
dining area. We built; a laundry room, a back porch, a large bedroom. Later he added two cuppalos on one side of upstairs so we could walk up right when grown. Lots more light also.
Dad called the place his mini Ranch. We branded the cattle. Dad we learned many years later
used the same brand his Grandfather had in Iowa.
He does not remember this part of family. He was never at his Grandfather's because he died before Dad born. We learned this from his Dad when he came to visit after we found him in Wyoming. Parents separated lots then ultimately split.

This is the time of year family gathered and shared events,
foods and fun.
WE had Aunt Ruth Hoffman's Feils birthday. Then we had my
Dad's Birthday Ray Dee Jones and then we had Uncle Comillo
Morelli 's birthday. HE was my Uncle being married to Etta
Maxine Jones, Dad's oldest sister. Aunt Ruth was my MOM's
baby sister. SO FAMILY WEEKEND twas fun.
I remember we always had tradional foods. meat, potaoes,
vegtables, jello salads, and breads then dessert.
After I married and was home we had a abnormal
luncheon event. We tried to do BBQ.. WE all survived it
but was not anyones favorite and never repeated it
It was generally fried Chicken, Potato Salad, jello salad
with fruit in it. Sometimes baked potatoes or Potato chips
on rare warmer days. Seems it was generally a cooler day and by 2:30
Uncle was off to milk cows and the wind be heavy enough all
moved indoors.
As kids we played games, or cards or horse shoes if weather permitting.
Dessert was always Chocolatae Cake off Hershey cocoa can and Fresh
strawberries with home made whipped cream. Dad's favorite cake
ALWAYS.
Some time kin from city would come and we would also make home made
ICE CREAM. Some times plain, some times with Fruit dropped in.
Loved it with Black berries or fresh peaches. The Ice Cream.
It was a weekend that happened with just that one modest try of BBQ.
Back to Chicken I think until it ended. They are all gone now.
Veggie was generally asparagus, corn or green beans.
Wish my family would have done this for our current family.
I think it made us a stronger family to share together.
18th,, 19th and 2oth. of May.
