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.
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Ancestry.com has any leads on my family history (including paternal, that is). Oh jeez, look at what you've done.
