Jeanie, This is really nice thank you for sharing with us/me. My family has not many pictures or know about any of the family. I am trying to learn what I can and see if anyone has any pictures. I just seen a picture of my grandfather for the 1st time last week. He died before I was born. I got it from the museum. He found dinosaur bones in his yard when building a house in his yard. I am trying to get things on my step grandparents now and have the same problem My grandmother was married 4-5 times. Divorced once and outlived all the others. Her first husband died after a few months of marriage at work. I just learned his 1st name this past week Leonard Farris from IL I think then she married Agustus Bergholm then my real gr-grandfather Peter Louis Vana Sr. Then my step grandpa William H. Markham b.21 Jun 1896 Estherville, Emmet, Iowa It's been hard to find any of the family or pictures after the great grandparents. Names or dates or anything. You are very lucky you have as much as you have. I am getting over breast cancer and my dad got lung cancer a month after I got cancer and my mom lung a month after that. Halloween is the anniversary of my dads death. My mom just got lung cancer back again Within a few months they all had heart attacks including my husband and I have 3 blockages also. I just got oxygen in for my husband over the weekend.All my grandparents died of heart failure. except for Peter Van he had an brain anurisium (spelling) on my mother and fathers side I mean moms side lived in 80's das in 40's & 60's Well good luck, God Bless, Lennis n a message dated 10/23/2006 12:12:04 A.M.
