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.

Barbara Jean Mallette Weigandt (13 Mar 1943 - 10 Dec 2010)


My mom passed away last month. She is now without pain and is with our Lord. We miss and love you, tell everyone we said hello and we will be together again. 

Just Sleeping
Now the laborer's task is over;
Now the battle day is past;
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager, at last.

There the tears of earth are dried;
There its hidden things are clear;
There the work of life is tried
By a greater judge than here.

"Earth to earth and dust to dust",
Calmly, now, the words we say;
Left behind, we wait in trust
For the resurrection day.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we, now, Thy servant sleeping.



Ecclesiastes 12:7
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was;
and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
