"You live as long as you are remembered." - Russian Proverb


We feel part of something greater than ourselves #genealogy


That's a big responsibility, but we'll take it.


"If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten; Either write things worthy of reading, or do things worthy of writing." -Benjamin Franklin


In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we came from. Without this knowledge, there is a hollow yearning . No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness.--Alex Haley

"The best part about Genealogy is searching for ancestors and finding friends." - Lawrence Dillard

Genealogy Bug
by Alice Mickey Weddle

Our world is a quiet, peaceful place
We go along at a smooth, even pace;
Until that bug, "Genealogy" bites
Then all is changed, both days and nights.

We search and research every nook and cranny
To find all we can about Gramps and Granny,
Dad and Mom, Uncles and Cousins
We quiz them all, dozens and dozens.

In books we read, in records we search
In old courthouses, and in the church;
We hope to find a great, or a great great
Where they lived, why and how they rate.

With pleasure our records we compile
Each one we add brings a smile:
We are inspired, life is much brighter
That bug, "Genealogy" is a real biter.

Is that men think about sex every seven seconds? Or men think about sex, every seven seconds?

Every few months, I think about sex every seven seconds and how weird and implausible it would be.

Bose Soundlink Mini Review


The Bose Soundlink Mini is a bluetooth speaker that puts a lot into a small device. When you pick it up, it feels solid and substantial. Maybe not something you'd want to throw in a purse every day, but you know that it's going to have some sound. And it does.

The device pairs easily with a phone or a computer, and like a bluetooth device should, just works.



The Bose SoundLink Mini retails for $199. You probably won't find it any cheaper as Bose has pricing requirements of their retail partners. It's pricey, but this is truly a portable device that sounds great.

If you're looking for something that's going to blow away a party with massive sound volume this isn't it. But to bring with you on picnics, the beach, and around the house while you do work, it's perfect.

In addition to the bluetooth connection, it has an auxiliary input and a rechargeable battery, which charges on a small dock.

Check it out at Amazon. And be sure to check out the reviews. Thousands of 5 star ratings is impressive, and I agree. It's a great product.
