Totally Geeking Out *Squee*
And another doggie followed me to work today. This one was a female mini-doberman pincher. Skittish thing, ran off before I could get her in the backyard, but she followed me for half a block, barking all the way. *laughs*
OMG. Am having so much fun with the Genealogy lines. Have the Hubbard line traced back to 1799 in Columbus, Ohio (seriously, that line has the weirdest middle names. 'Stocking'-?!), the Korffmann to 1653 in Stein-Bockenheim, Germany and the Reiss to Wonsheim, Germany in 1423. Both Stein-Bockenheim and Wonsheim are small towns in Rhineland.
Tonight, I get to play with Grandpa's notes for the Curfman lines, since the information is slightly different from what I found online and start on the Gorman lines, who are from England. Liverpool, I believe. Then I get to start on the Thompson lines, which Grandpa has notes for as far back as 1832.
Is great fun, like finding where a big ball of many strings leads, or a jigsaw puzzle. So far mostly following paternal lines as far back as I can, cause this can get real complicated real quick. Everyone's been farmers or smiths thus far, which I'm gleeful over. Although Dad assures me there's a snake-oil salesmen on the Thompson line. ^___^
There's quite a few genealogy sites out there, can anyone suggest a good one for posting stuff? Rootsweb seems to have the most complete as far as where my family lines lead, but it also seems like a lot of the sites are all linked together, some free, some not.
p.s. sorry about missing lurker day. ;_;

Good luck with that, Ellis Island records are very hard to straighten out, especially if they changed her name. My great grandfather came through there and that's as far back as I can trace him since I can't figure out his 'real' last name.
