Renee, thanks for doing this. Who knew that you were so computer smart? I am getting there.
Speaking of which..I would really like it if everyone would send me either a copy of their birth certificates, baptism certificates and marriage certificates or just the dates and identification numbers on them. I have started doing family history is it is really fun and addictive. Anyway, the news PAF program from the church has a place to put sources for information. That means that I need this information to complete the Larry Davies family group sheet. I have already strong-armed my kids so now it is your turn. But I think it is a good idea anyway because then if you ever lose your certificates, the information to replace them will be in this computer program. If you send copies, then I will put them in with my other sources file box.
I have been reading the most terrific family stories that I have gotten from Aunt Bernice and Aunt Betty. I will have to copy them and give them to you. We have a very great family heritage. They also have some rare and interesting pictures. Let me just say that now I know where we all got our good looks:).
You can send the information to my e-mail address (which is different than the one in the family directory that Renee and Robert made for us). It is www.alesia208@msn.com. Or you can mail it to me or even come for a visit and bring them.
And by the way, for any who do not know. Janeen was accepted into the anesthesia program at Dartmouth University in New Hampshire and so Janeen, Mark, and Molly are off on a four year adventure. They have to be there by June 17th so I think the plans are to leave around the first of June.
Brian just returned from the convention in Seattle that he and his buddies do workshops for. Marianne and Amanda are just getting ready for new baby boys. I can hardly believe that I will be the grandma to 4 by the end of summer!
Paul and I are getting ready to finish our front porch that we started last summer. And we are busy with church callings and work. I am doing some tutoring and I volunteer at the Iona Community Library doing storytime for preschoolers.
I think thats it. Thanks Renee! for starting this.
Love to you all,
Alesia
