Posted on January 6, 2023January 11, 2023 by Diane Faulk

This week’s theme is “I’d Like to Meet.” Most of us have an ancestor who we’d like to meet (even if it’s to ask, “What are your parent’s names?”) This week, write about that ancestor or why you’d want to meet him or her. Feel free to be creative! Anna Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 43 – Organized

Posted on October 31, 2022October 31, 2022 by Diane Faulk

This week’s theme is “Organized.” Organizing can refer to papers, files, etc., but it can also refer to people. Did your ancestor belong to any organizations? Did your ancestor organize any activities? When I think of organizations, I think about my cousin, Stanley Miller. Stanley was born on June 5, Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 25 – Broken Branch

Posted on June 27, 2022June 27, 2022 by Diane Faulk

There are multiple meanings for a “Broken Branch” family member. I am claiming it as “life cut short.”  “Broken Branch” means a child could have lived a day or up to 16 years of age. Due to the loss of records for births under 10, I don’t have many children identified. Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 16 – Negative

Posted on April 21, 2022April 22, 2022 by Diane Faulk

When I think of “negative” genealogy, I think of the 1992 movie “A Few Good Men” with Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore. Remember when Jack said, “You can’t handle the truth?” I can’t handle it when someone in my family has done something terrible (or negative) to someone Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 11 – Flowers

Posted on March 19, 2022March 20, 2022 by Diane Faulk

We have at least a half dozen Lillies and Rosa’s and one Violet in our family, but this theme makes me think of my father’s Aunt Lillie. Did you know that lilies come in white, yellow, pink, red, and orange, and each color means something different? My Aunt Lillie is Continue Reading

My favorite photo is a picture of the Miller Family, taken about 1941 in Cleveland, Ohio. The lady in the white blouse is my paternal grandmother, Anna Miller (1908-1946). Unfortunately, I never met her because she died the week before I was born. The chart above lists the family members Continue Reading
