Genealogy is never enough

With everything that is happening with my family friends right now, I'm drawn to think about genealogy.

Genealogy is so limited because it only take you back to those who are related to you but fails to show connections out side of the "family bonds".

In 100 years, no one will know of the bond between my family and Bill's family. They will just be people in a photo that not related to us. Perhaps someone will try to figure out the bond but without the...

Thank you all

Posted 04-13-2010 at 08:01 AM by lrmc

I want to take a moment to thank all who have viewed my video.

At the rate that the video is being viewed I will not make it to the next round. There are already more than 25 videos whom have more than 2000 views and I'm at just over 450. I have 3 more days but at the rate I'm going it will only be about 800 views.

I've posted on several websites I belong too and that has helped but just not enough for me to move on to the next level.

So Thank you...

Looking for suggestions

Posted 04-10-2010 at 08:47 AM by lrmc

I have been racking my brains on how to get more people to view my video. I've been sending out tons of eamils. Asking everyone I know to forward on the video link. But at this rate I will barely brake 1000 views by friday which is the end of the contest first part. Only the top 25 viewed entries goes on.

I need some suggestion on getting more people to view the video.

a little catch up

Posted 04-04-2010 at 08:22 PM by lrmc

took the kiddos to the zoo on Friday, oh my gosh, it was packed. I think about half the city decided to go. We waited in line for about 45 minutes just to get into the gate. We hadn't even made it out of the van.

The kiddos had a blast. We purchased a year pass and plan to go again this week since they are off for spring break.

Still have not talked to a lawyer yet. I really need a job before moving ahead with the divorce. right now things are fine but we are...

Some people just have to attach themselves to someone fame

Posted 03-18-2010 at 09:12 PM by lrmc

After writing here about the Emmit Smith episode about genealogy, I decided to log into my ancestry account. I wanted to take a better look at his 4th Great Grandma's 1870 Census.

On the night that the episode aired. Six people filled out pedigree charts for the family. I can almost beat that not one of them is related to the family in the least.

To top that off, I was looking at one and the person has one of the family members being born when his mother was...

Who do you think you are (the show)

Posted 03-18-2010 at 08:41 PM by lrmc

I watched the first episode with Sarah Jessica Parker but missed the second one with Emmit Smith.

Both were amazing stories.

SJP can trace one of hers back to the Salem Witch trials. And another to the gold rush. Truely amazing.


I missed the episode with Emmit Smith so I watched it on the computer. Again, a wonderful and heart breaking story of his family's line. He was able to go back to 1815ish which was when his 4th great Grandma was...

Saw a pair of eagles yesterday

Posted 03-08-2010 at 08:12 AM by lrmc

Yesterday while driving not far from home, I saw cars lined up along the roadway.

I finally stopped on my third pass to find out that a pair of American Bald Eagles were nesting there.

We got to see them both fly.

In my lifetime, this is a first time for me to see Bald Eagles in the wild. I've seen them in zoos and on TV often but never free.

It was a sight to behold to say the least.

Here's to the nest producing young...
