Since I did not go sailing off into the wild blue yonder

What I am seeking in short is whatever documentation that you can share, whatever information that you can forward to me would be useful. I will be working with folks about obtaining photographs of some events. I would like clear descriptive photographs as opposed just anything. We have photographers in  our brood, so we can make this really nice. One of the projects I am working on is some manner of displaying this so that we can learn about members of the family through a sort of multimedia display. I don't have a specific time frame for this, I would like to gather material for this and delegate some of the work off to the family members who would be the best suited for accomplishing the various tasks.

A plea for information and communication.....

This fall, I am planning to resume working on researching our family history. One of the issues I have encountered is lack of documentation. One of the last times that I spoke, I had located the ship and the manifest in which great-grandparents to many of us and grandparents to some of us landed at Ellis Island, New York. I have the census records for Aunt Edith, and Uncle(cousin) Bill when they lived with every one else. There are a few things that I am trying to round up is, this. Cousin Louise, whose child is she ? Everyone stated that she was Gramda's cousin, she was the correct age and everything, but who were her parents. I am also reviewing some documentation regarding cousin Monique, her daughter and some other folks. Anyone out there that may be able to enlighten me a little bit, please contact me soonest.

Rest

This afternoon, our Heavenly Father summoned home my godfather Howard, uncle Howard to most all of us, brother and close friend to my father, he was a man of much talent and range, his life touched us all in whole and in part, I am still speechless at the word of his passing and his presence will be greatly missed. I miss him so much already. He was a distinguished man, with much love and generosity for all. I realize that his time here was long and sorted in spots and all that knew him, were fortunate and blessed to have made his acquaintance.

Rest in peace Uncle Howard.
