First Post in a Long Time

 FIRST POST IN A LONG TIME

So, it's been what? Six years. Haven't accomplished a whole lot in new genealogy findings in that time and now I think it's time to get serious. I've been reading for the second time

The Family Tree Toolkit: A Comprehensive Guide to Uncovering Your Ancestry and Researching Genealogy

by Kenyatta D. Berry. If you have African American or indigenous heritage, you should get this book. But even as an intermediate home genealogist, I'm finding plenty of tips. I've taken her questionnaire for your own personal history and reworked it to use as a guide for getting information into my trees (at least). I can always flesh out the individuals as time permits and/or at a latter date. I work on three tree, mine, my husband's and my son-in-law's. So here goes.

What are your parents' names? Easy peasy. 

My parents: Donald August Jaster and Elizabeth Tokar.

My husband's parents: Lawrence Philip Hartlaub and Helen Elizabeth Bruhn. 

My son-in-law's parents are still living, so we will skip this for now. 

That's it for this post. I'll continue the conversation later today or tomorrow.
