Generations: the study of the history of families using historical documents to discover the relationships between people. This is my family.
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.

Albert Weigandt
I love this picture of my grandfather Albert Weigandt at Antelope Park in Lincoln, Nebraska, 1945. I was told he was quite the goofy guy at times.
My name is Mark Budka or MM3 BUDKA USN HD. I live in Lincoln, Nebraska. Have you ever met your cousin Jim Card? He was in the Navy like his grandfather (pictured above). Jim is an extremely good friend of mine.
402-617-7883. Jim is a great guy. I have two nicknames for him. I call him Senior Chief and when he needs to be given a bad time I call him Jaime. I emailed him an old photograph of CB&Q 710 this afternoon. He said your grandfather was the last one to take said locomotive out of the Lincoln roundhouse. That engine is still around. I thought I had recruited him for the Navy, nah! he was ripe for the picking! Both his grandfather and uncle. Funny. jamescard1165@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteYes, he is a great guy. We kinda lost touch after he retired and I need to reconnect with him.
