We are finally back home again after 30 days away spending Christmas and New Years and visiting family and friends in Arkansas and Illinois. It is always good to be in your own home.
Along the way we collected additional genealogical information and even met a distant "cousin" while taking photographs in a rural cemetery. I now have so much new information and new to me ancestral photos that it is going to take me quite a while to get everything posted online. So be watching the "Recent Updates" list on the Family Then and Now website to see what all I have found.

Some have jokingly suggested that Janice and I refrain from traveling any more since every time we go away and return we have one or more somewhat serious medical issues by the time we get back home.
This summer we returned home and each of us had to make multiple trips to doctors for our newly developed ailments. Janice experienced a new eye problem and I have a bum shoulder that puts me in the category of one armed men when it comes to doing any work until this thing gets healed better. But, hopefully, the urgency has worn off now and we just need additional time to continue healing.
Even one armed computing is a pain. At least I have one chair where I can use the laptop without causing additional pain. And the laptop itself is mostly fixed now as well - at least so long as I only use it on battery power when in normal operating mode.
So things are slowly getting back to normal.
While away I gathered a lot of new data and images for the Family Then and Now website. And I have begun the process of adding all of that online. It will take some time to get caught up, but FTAN is starting to realy shape up with photographs and stories to go along with the basic family genealogy stuff.
