Hey all. First, my apologies for the lateness in the February and March postings. SOOOO much to do, SOOOO little time. Anyway, better late than never, I guess.
Second, thanks for all the positive feedback about the blog. I have been toying with the idea of dropping it, but I guess more people check it than I thought! Another ego boost for me was when I was looking for information on one person, this blog was listed as a source!
I’m still researching our collective family tree. I’m starting to concentrate on the descendants of Beeley and Catherine Pendleton (Roy’s parents) and Karl and Theresia Hanifl (Sophie’s parents.) I’m eagerly looking forward to April 3rd. That is the date the 1940 federal census becomes public – the federal census is confidential for 72 years. It will be the first time anyone in my generation will appear. OK. To ME that is excited.
Although I normally don’t include deceased relatives on the birthday postings, there are two I thought deserved mention. First is Roy’s mother, Catherine [Newkirk] Pendleton. She was born 5 Mar 1837 in Illinois and died 15, Jan 1916 in La Crosse. Second is Mary [Hanifl] Brey, Sophie’s sister. She was born 23 Mar 1886 in Oggau, Austria-Hungary and died 5 Dec 1987 in La Crosse.
The other piece of news since my last post is that Tammy [Hanna] Woodring fell on a patch of ice on the 8th of February and hit her head on the pavement and spent a few days in the hospital. If you have a chance, drop her a line.
I will do my best to get April’s postings on the blog in a more timely fashion. And, thanks again for all the feedback!
Keep in touch…
