Sorry I've been quiet. This Ancestry.com thing is addictive. Add to that some other important family things, and I've been pulled in a lot of directions lately. It's all good, but everything is making me neglect my blog.
On the upside, I have been getting some writing done. I'm still meandering around blindly, trying to pick up the thread I lost 2 years ago, but so far, so good. I think I need to throw in a new body. Either that or sic the villain on the MC. Terri's getting to complacent and the villain's getting bored. ;o)
On another upside, I traced the American Indian link in my grandfather's family tree. Apparently, I'm 1/16th of some tribe. I haven't found out which, yet. I also found where my great-grandfather was injured in the Franco-Prussian war. It would probably be a lot more significant if I read German, but I muddled along enough to figure out he was a 2nd Lt on the Prussian side. Maybe his military background is why my grandfather was named Wilhelm - after the Kaiser? :shrug:
My world is covered in sticky notes and printed census lists, but it's a good world right now.
How's your world?

Well done for getting on with your writing, I wish I could say the same.
Your ancestry sounds fascinating. Happy searching.
Oh, great. That means I'm not even enough Native American to say "Irish-German-Native American" anymore. I'll just stick with 'European' as my descent.
I wonder if Ancestry.com has any leads on my family history (including paternal, that is). Oh jeez, look at what you've done.
