It has happened again. The interent has brought some of my family together again. I have not done very much research on my Grandfather's Mother's side of the family but have a few names on my family tree on Ancestry. Someone who was interested in a couple of names contacted me with questions. Lo and behold, she lives right here in Columbus and I have worked side by side with family members and did not even know they were family. Her grandmother is still alive and will be able to answer some questions that I have to fill in the tree and maybe even be able to tell me what in the world happened to gg grandpa Stuch. You never know when a new lead can rejuvenate the research and really get you going again. Just had to share with everyone and remind them that we should never give up. The answers are out there, you just have to turn the right page, open the new document, or venture to a new procedure for it to happen.... Shirley
Great news, Shirley! Thanks for sharing. P.S. Does that mean there's still hope for me finding my great-grandpa Johan Georg Engel's family? <sigh> Sherri Brakenhoff - [email protected] NEGenWeb, Platte Co Coordinator - http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/county/platte/ NEGenWeb, Colfax Co Coordinator - http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/county/colfax/ Sherri's Family Findings - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sherri/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shirley Martys Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2011 8:58 AM To: Nebraska - Platte Subject: [NEPLATTE] Wonders of Internet and Family It has happened again.
