I think I'll occasionally use this News feature to make diary-like posts on what I'm working on. This will be the first of this type of post. So:
This morning, I posted a couple of photos to Dead Fred. If you're not familiar with this site, it's a lot of fun browsing through the name index to see if there are any photos of people you know. I added an unknown photo that I particular like and one of a couple I'm very familiar with.
This morning, I also looked through family tree @ Ancestry to see if anyone has posted photos related to Henry Flower, my great great grandfather and his immediate family:
Henry Flower, 1842-1923
married to
Martha Hayden, 1857-1919
children:
Nellie Flowers, 1874-1951, married to Albert Sager, 1873-?.
Mary Flower, 1876-?, married ?
Fanny May Flowers, 1881-1900, married George Odell, 1879-1918.
I found one obit for Henry Flower that I hadn't seen before.
I left several messages for family tree owners to let them know about the Flower/Flowers One Name Study and the blog.
The day before, I emailed the Town Clerk of Rockland, Sullivan County, NY, to let her know about the One Place Study of Rockland and the blog and to ask that she spread it around. You can only ask.
Les Wormuth and I are planning a trek into Montgomery County to do some research at a couple of collections. The "other" Wormuth family was there. Our Peter may have been born there. We'll see what we can find. I have a lot of prep work to do before we go up there; it's quite a drive for me.
That's it for now. Does anybody read this? Please leave a comment. Thank you.
