I have made a statement on Facebook about the fact that I have been able to make contact with my relatives, some of which I haven't ever talked to and some of which I hadn't talked to in over 50 years. I know, that is a sad state of affairs but it is true. Along with Facebook, another side of my family corresponds via email. My youngest daughter, Elizabeth, has set up an interface on her own website called sdb@ladykatza.com, which is a listing of my deceased wife's relatives email addresses. Before Claudia's mother died, several years ago, Delores would send out a chatty email almost daily, and usually all her children and some of the cousins, aunts, or uncles would add additional family happenings in the emails. It is still in use, but not quite so frequently.
Anyway, as a result of my comments about being able to communicate with farflung members of my family, the subject of who was who, who were the children of which parents, who were cousins, aunts, uncles, in-laws, etc. So I am currently investigating how to set up a web site wherein all the various relatives can input their family information into a geneological tree or chart.
I know my Dad did a lot of work on our ancestory and I plan to use it, also my cousin Mike Brinkman has information, I have information, as do several other people. I am hoping that I can use Google's Blogger capability and upload the genealogical software directly into it. That way I don't have to pay for a website. I would rather not have to pay a monthly fee to maintain a website. I have lost too much money trying to earn money. Anyway, enough said on that subject.
I know that Claudia's brother-in-law Rod Johnson has done an extensive bit of work on the Stoddard and Johnson families ancestory, and I am hoping he will be willing to share it. We shall see.
May God Bless us all.
