January 2017

WHERE does the time go? Another year has slipped by! I hope 2016 was good to you all,

2016 was a good year for me.

As usual, the year started out with tax season. It went well. I added some new clients, Tax season is such a double-edged sword to me. I look forward to it before it starts; I enjoy it while I'm doing it, but on April 16th, I'm questioning whether I want to do it again. This year (2017) I have made a conscious decision to expand my business. I have gained several more certifications and am in the process of launching a new website. Check it out if you have nothing better to do: www.PTASOnlineMN.com. (It's still in the development stage...)

I spent spring and summer just puttering around the yard - one of my favorite activities.

In June, I spent a few days with my daughter, Michelle, and her family at Jellystone campground in Warrens, WI. I'm not an outdoorsy guy, but we had a good time. At least Jon rented a cabin so it wasn't really "camping." I turned 60 that month, and Michelle and Jon threw a little party for me. It was very nice.

Then, in July, Michelle and Jon told me they were throwing a surprise 60th birthday party for my ex-wife, Karen, in La Crosse. (I live in Minneapolis and Karen lives in Madison.) At the same time, they told Karen they were throwing a surprise birthday party for me. So, Karen and I both showed up expecting the party would be for the other and it was for BOTH of us. That was quite the surprise! Many friends and relatives were there. I was truly humbled at the number of people who were there.

In September, a cousin from my mom's side, Stephanie Merfeld, and her husband Jim, stayed with Jon and me on their way back from California to New Hampshire. I hadn't spent any real time with her in more years than I care to mention. We had a VERY nice time. It's always good to re-connect with family.

The remainder of the fall was uneventful. Jon and I went to my daughter's house for Thanksgiving - . Jon made a wonderful meal! I spent the day doing the largest crossword puzzle I think I've ever seen!

Which brings us to Christmas and New Year. Again, Jon and I spent Christmas with my daughter and her family. It was great spending time with them. It's always fun to see Christmas through a kid's eye. The trip there was horrible - snow, rain and ice - but we made it.

So... That was my year....

This next year, 2017, I'm planning a trip to London and Paris in September. I love London and I have never been to Paris. I gave Jon the "Rick Steves' Guide to Paris" for Christmas, so I'm sure he is planning out the trip. On one of my future trips to the UK, I do plan to get to get to Manchester - our ancient home - to do some more research on our tree, but not this trip...

Anyway, shoot me an E-Mail and let me know about your year!

As always, keep in touch,
Paul

RIP Jackie Williamson

I just received word that Jackie Alvis Williamson passed away on 5, Nov 2016.

Jackie was the husband of Amy (3) Fischer.

Amy is the daughter of Margie [Pendleton] Fischer (2) who is the daughter of Ed Pendleton (1).

A private memorial service was held on 27, Nov 2016 at the American Legion in Milwaukee.

Please join me in taking a moment to honor his memory.

Thanksgiving 2016

This past week has been one devoted to family. Jinny [Niles] and Lenny De Angelis came back on the Friday before Thanksgiving to spend some time with her Wisconsin family. Since they got into MSP late and the weather was not so good, they spent a short night at my house before travelling on to Holmen, WI. We talked until after 3:30 AM and they were on their way by 11:00 AM.

On Tuesday, my sister, Sue, and her husband, Gary, were gracious enough to let Jon and me stay with them on our way to DeForest so that Jinny and Lenny, Sue and Gary and Jon and I could meet for supper. It was a great time!

Lenny & Jinny

Sue & Gary

On Wednesday, Jon and I continued on to DeForest to spend Thanksgiving with my daughter, Michelle, and her family.

(Top to Bottom) Eric, Michelle, Addison & Clayton

On our way to DeForest, we met with our "newest" cousin, Sue [Ryan] [Perna] and her husband, Bob Entwistle, who were on their way to spend Thanksgiving with Sue's biological mother, Nancy [Niles] Proctor. We had a very nice leisurely breakfast in Mauston, WI, but forgot to take pictures. So, on their way back to Illinois on Saturday, Sue and Bob stopped at my daughter's house so we could get some pics. (It was just a coincidence that Sue was wearing a Chicago PD sweatshirt and I was wearing a NYPD sweatshirt!)

(l to r) Jon, Sue, Bob and Paul

All in all, it was a GREAT week!

Please join me in passing condolences to his wife and family.

September, 2016

I have decided to change the way I update birthdays and memorials. Since I seem to remember to update my posts sometime in the first week of the month, I'm going to start posting the following month in advance. So, this month, I updated September's birthdays and memorials AND I've posted October's birthdays and memorials. Next month, I'll post November's birthdays and memorials, etc.

Why I didn't think of doing it this way MONTHS ago is beyond me...

As always, keep in touch!

2016 Pendleton Family Picnic

The 2016 Pendleton Family picnic was held Sunday the 7th of August at the Holland Town Hall just west of Holmen, WI. It was another success although attendance this year was lower than in past years. There was SOOO much food and plenty of prizes for the drawing. Great job, everyone, for pitching in and bringing a dish to share - everything was delicious. Phil Rosson (3) brought the plastic water slide for the kids. He did try to get the adults to join in too - without much success.

Thanks to Pam (Sue) Heath (3) who always does a super job at organizing everything. And a special thanks to Pam's aunts for opening what was originally their family picnic to the rest of the clan. Pictured are (left to right) Peggy Roberts, Paula Dolan, Margie Fischer and Emmie Rosson - all daughters of Ed (1) and "Lu" [Delaney] Pendleton.

This picnic is always the first Sunday in August in Holmen, Wisconsin. There are a number of cousins who, for a variety of reasons, cannot make it to the "west coast" of Wisconsin on that weekend, so I'm still looking for someone to host a picnic on a different weekend somewhere on the "east coast" of Wisconsin. If you are, or you think you know someone who might be interested in hosting an alternate event, please let me know.

Thanks, again, Pam. Well done!

As always, keep in touch!

2016 Pendleton Family Picnic Reminder

I hope to see you there!

Surprise 60th Birthday Party

On July 9th, 2016, Jon, my daughter, Michelle, and my ex-wife's (Karen) sisters threw a surprise birthday party for Karen and me. We both turned 60 this year. (My birthday is at the end of June and Karen's is at the end of July.) To keep the party a surprise, they told me it was for Karen and they told her it was for me...

It was a total surprise! A lot of good friends and relatives showed up. I was truly humbled at the turn-out.

BTW, I HATE surprises and I will repay Jon, Michelle, Joann and Kathy at some point in the future. They won't know when, but it will happen! :)

This is a picture of (from left to right) me, Clayton (grandson,) Eric (son-in-law,) Addie "Jazz Hands" (granddaughter,) Michelle and Karen.

July 2016

Hey all...

I've been working on getting more certifications for my business (study, study, study) and getting my new website up and running so this is going to be a short post.

You know how interested I am in genealogy and I needed a logo for my business so I decided to combine the two. In the process, I found a Pendleton "family" crest. [Originally, an English Coat of Arms or a crest was awarded to ONE person, but was made hereditary by King Richard I of England (1157 - 1199.) I don't know if we are descendants of the person who was awarded this crest and, therefore, authorized to use it.]

With that being said, I thought this was a cool design and decided to say "Screw it!" and use the crest anyway. So here it is.. I make NO guarantees that this is our "official" family crest. As I said, I just thought it would be a great logo. Everything on the shield has a significance and I will post something in the future that explains everything, [Is that enough of an incentive to keep checking back? :) ]

Happy Independence Day and have a GREAT July!

As always, keep in touch!

Paul

Oh, and a bit of shameless self-promotion... If you have a chance, check out my new website (www.PTASOnlineMN.com) and tell me what you think, It's still in the development stage, so everything could change. I'd really appreciate some brutal honesty! Send me an E-Mail and let me know if something is confusing or contradictory or how, in general, I can improve the site!

May 2016 Update

I hang my head in shame... I haven't updated this blog since last December.

I am up to date with everything that I have heard of in the past 5 months now, but I admit, I have been completely out of the loop during tax season so I may have missed something. Please E-Mail me with any news you'd like to share! It doesn't just have to be births and deaths... Weddings, graduations, retirements, job changes, health issues... Anything you want to share...

AND, as always, if you want any of the information I have on the family tree, just let me know. I have lots of info to share!

Rest In Peace - Jim Ogden

James "Jim" Ogden, age 77, passed away on Tuesday, March 15, 2016. He was born on January 3, 1939, the son of Herman and Evelyn (Pendleton) Ogden. Jim graduated from Central High School in 1956.

He was united in marriage to Joan Jerisha on Oct. 17, 1964, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church. Their marriage was blessed with three children, Sharon, Dave and Julie.

Jim worked for Thorstad Chevrolet, in the parts department for over 30 years.

An accomplished violinist, Jim played… with the Madison Civic Orchestra and his passion for music stayed with him throughout his life as well as his fondness for his 1930 Model A Ford Coupe.

Jim is survived by his children, Sharon Wright, Dave (Diane Shorette-Ogden) Ogden and Julie (Pete) Gullickson; Joan Ogden who helped Jim through his lengthy illness; grandchildren; Lucas, Lauren and Keri; brothers, Frank (Rie) Ogden and Tom (Pat) Ogden; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Bob.

Rest In Peace - Matthew Marvin

Matthew L. Marvin age 42 left the earth on Tuesday October 27, 2015. He was born March 25, 1973 in El Paso, TX and resided in Beloit, WI most of his life. Matthew was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend. Matthew loved being a certified mechanic. His love of working on cars started at the age of fourteen. Through-out his life, he worked at Finley’s Rock County Buick and Budweiser as a certified mechanic.

He is survived by his parents, Charles Sr. and Debora; his sons, Zachary & Nicholas Marvin and their mother, Angela Marvin; his brother, Charles Marvin Jr.; his sister Christie (Clyde) Potter; his grandfather, Claude Marvin, his uncle, Bruce Marvin; mother in law, Diane Wolf; two sisters in law, Teresa Marvin and Melinda Wolf and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Merle Pendleton and Howard Pendleton, his paternal grandmother, Doris Marvin and his father in law, Terry Wolf.

May 2016 Dates to Remember

There are two interesting dates to note this month. First, the 27th marks the 100th anniversary of Karl Hanifl's death. Karl was Grandma Sophie's father and, along with his wife, Theresia [Laschitz] Hanifl, was responsible for emigrating the family from Austria-Hungary to the United States.

The other significant date also relates to the Hanifl side of the family. May 11th marks the 125th anniversary, 1891, of the Hanifl family arriving in the United States. Karl and Theresia emigrated from Oggau, Austria-Hungary (now Oggau, Austria,) with their four surviving children. (Three other children died prior to their emigration.) At the time the family arrived, Sophie was 11, Frank was 9, John was 7 and Mary was 5.

I’m not sure WHY the family emigrated to the U.S. or HOW they ended up in La Crosse, Wisconsin. I’m assuming the reason they emigrated was because they thought life would be better in the U.S. I also think they may have chosen La Crosse because there were a number of other emigres from Oggau who ended up in La Crosse. It could have just been that La Crosse had a large Germanic population – who knows for sure? All that really matters is that Sophie and Roy met and were married on Feb 7, 1906 and here we all are! J

As long as we’re on the topic of Oggau, about 18 months ago, I received an E-Mail from a Johann and Maria Hanifl who currently live in Oggau. Johann, who was 82 at the time, is a 3^rd cousin of mine which means that Karl Hanifl (MY great-grandfather) and Johann’s great-grandfather were brothers. It’s interesting to know that we all still have cousins in “the old world.”

Since I started this blog in 2008, I have heard from cousins in Canada, Scotland, England, Austria and several states in the U.S.

Finally, I have done several posts on this blog regarding Oggau in the past. Check out the “Quiz” link (on the left side of this page) or use the feature to search for Oggau.
