Welcome

Trying to write one's family history can be rather daunting, to say the least. Even more so when you're dyslexic and have poor gramar skills. It can be quite exasperating trying to put some simblance of order to the tons of information I've accumulated since I began this journey while living in England in 2004. Should I write a book, use Facebook, use a genealogy website or write a blog? There are so many options, but no matter which avenue(s) I choose there will always be a family member who will not be able to access portions of my collection and research. What to do, what to do? Do I do more than one? Yes. This blog will be my avenue of sharing information, and feelings, as I progress through a mirad of projects such as writing a book and updating my tree on Ancestry.com. This, I believe, will also allow for sharing of information quicker. Though they are all different in how they share information, the end goal is to be the story teller for my family. To tell the stories of generations that came before me, who still walk with me and for the generations yet to be. I welcome your comments, questions and inputs.

Margarite Rose Blish Mallette Rash 1895-1973


This is a picture I received today of my great grandmother from my newly found cousin. Since my mother did not have contact with her father or his side of the family after he and my grandmother divorced she never knew her grandmother or had any pictures of that side of the family. Margarite divorced my great grandfather John Paul Mallette. With the exception of my grandfather Lloyd George Mallette, their three girls were sent to live with other relatives. One of the girls Lenora Mae Mallette, a year older than Lloyd, was my cousin's grandmother. My grandfather stayed with my great grandfather, eventually they moved to California where my great grandfather remarried a divorcee with a daughter.
