Do I know how to have a good time or what.....


My Great Grandfather on my mom's side.
  How do you spend your Friday Nights? I personally spend my Friday nights in the cemetery. My cousin was in town from Hawaii, and we started talking about the cemetery. Who was putting flowers on what graves. Where in the cemetery is everyone buried and with who. After a lot of talk we decided to get in the car and go see. We walked all over looking at the family plots. I took lots of pictures one to update the family tree with some correct dates, two to scrapbook them... Yes scrapbook them…


My Grandfathers sister.

After our adventure in the cemetery it really got me thinking I know a lot about my Mom’s side of the family. All of which is buried in the cemetery we visited. I really don’t know much about my Dad’s side of the family and there is only one person to ask. I don’t even really know where they are all buried.

I have since come up with a list of questions I would love to have answered about my Dad’s family. I am going to have my Mom answer then too, just so I know I have the information.

Some examples:
- Where did grandma and grandpa meet?
- How many years of education have you completed?
- What cities did grandma and grandpa live in? (I know they moved a lot)
- What branch of the military was grandpa in?
- What were grandpa’s jobs?

I do know some of the answers to these questions but no real detail. I have always been interested in my family’s history, and really want to get it put together in a nice way to be able to share with the next generation.
