Hi All, Just wanted to tell you fellow genealogists an interesting story. I began a new family, my husband's father's family, BUCKLEY, with just a birth place and birth date of his grandfather, and the names of his grandfather's parents. I made a trip to the National Archives in Seattle, and found the family in 1910, Platte county. That was exciting enough. BUT, last year I had worked with MY mother on her family, and we lost track of them from 1910-1918. As I was looking for the BUCKLEY's, I accidentally ran across MY mom's missing family. 1910, Platte county. What are the odds of that? My great grandparents, and my husbands great grandparents living in the same county, same time. My husband and I are both from Seattle. My great grandfather was listed as a chicken farmer. Dave's great grandfather was listed as an auctioneer. They probably did business together at some point. Strange, huh? Both families came from different states. I wonder why they both decided to migrate to Nebraska in the early 1900's?? Any suggestions? Anyway, I'm leaving Nebraska now, and starting Iowa. Just wanted to say, don't give up! The search is so much fun, and when you least expect it, something pops up! Laura
