Family History....

It is amazing what you can find out on line...

There are several sites that you can go to.

Ancestry.com, of course is the most famous

one.. That one has a fee...   but there are

others that have information, for free...  and

then there is the census. And even gravesites.

Thru the census, I learn that my grandfather

at the age of 36 was the President of the

company he worked for. While I knew that he

worked for them and started as a timekeeper,

later in life got to be the CEO... but didn't

know that at the age of 36 he was already

there.... I figured when he was 50 or more.

I also learn a few more relatives... and then

about several of the women who traveled

by themselves to England and such.

And the census also told of some of the trades

of the men...   women were 99% housewives.

One did own her own furniture store at the

turn of the century, in St. Louis, Mo. 

It was some pretty cool stuff there.. and believe

it or not.. there was not one horse thief there.

Although there was a horse trader.. nothing

about the honesty or not of him.  haha..
