April Blogs: #52 Ancestors 52 Weeks Journaling

Cemetery During the 1990's, I was walking around Ashland cemetery in St. Joseph, Missouri. I was searching for my ancestors. I'm thankful that I came across some of my relatives resting place. I found my Great Grandparents Robert and Charlotta (DADE) Lankfard's Tombstone

 Storms I couldn't find any storms on my family connections that I could write about. I can't think of anyone with a name with "storm" in nature. I was brainstorming on this topic.  What storms?

Taxes I haven't explored the taxes records on my ancestors. I don't know where to search. Someday, I will explore the taxes.

Maiden Aunt  I searched to see if I had any maiden Aunt who lived to be of age.  I had one aunt who died as a teenager. Other then that, I couldn't find any maiden Aunts to journal about.

Welcome to April And The Easter Season.!

Happy Easter!

I hope you enjoy the season.
Wishing all the best in the 2nd quarter of 2018.
I  hope you find some family connections.

Misfortune #52Ancestors 52 Weeks

As I went through my family connection list, I was thinking about my relatives.  I saw so much sadness.  May the LORD guide us through our misfortunes. Amen. This blog is in memory of some who passed to soon and those who had to live through their suffering.

Thanks for reading.
God bless you.
S.A. Blakley

We all have misfortune in our family lineage. Relatives died too soon. People separate / divided through divorce or whatever, encounters with the law. There are children who were born with a disability and some relatives who became disabled, relatives losing apart of their body parts or were injured. 

Sickness comes. It's having to live life with something missing or having to suffer through the pain....There are some who have taken their own lives and some didn't have a chance to live at birth.
