I have been away for a bit but I'm back. We made a move to another state
after retiring from the Air Force and I still have a lot of genealogy
papers and artifacts to unpack but I'm working on getting it all
unpacked and sorted back out. Finishing up a dual bachelors degree has
been a priority the past year and a half too. One more class and that
goal will be accomplished. I took a break from my tree to help my
husband with his Argyle, Fullwood, Brannan, Danner, Stowell side of his
tree; actually, I am still helping with that and love that I can. He
received some pictures and information from his 95 year old grandmother
(Argyle) who is still with us, and whom our daughter is named after. It
is quite exhilarating to help him make all the connections and answer
questions for the both of them. I have also made several trips to
Andersonville National Cemetery to visit my mom (Mallette) and brother
(Weigandt) who are buried there and to take pictures of headstones and
post them to Find A Grave, my dad and 5 year old daughter making a trip
or two to help me out. My dad had my brother moved from the national
cemetery in Puerto Rico to be buried with my mom in Andersonville. What
was surprising and fun was receiving requests for research assistance on
some Civil War family members for other people that took me to other
parts of the state (GA), the U.S. and even to Europe (virtually of
course, I wish physically). I received some family artifacts from my
Aunt Mary that are a blessing to have. I have been sorting through them
and having quite a bit framed. The Cullimore Bible will be sent soon for
repair to ensure it lasts for many more generations to come. Several of
the artifacts that were in the Bible were framed to preserve them. And,
I have been working on refinishing some of my grandmother's (Graham)
maple furniture that my father gave to me. I promise to make more
regular updates.
Cheers,
Terry
