I have a "to do" list that's a mile long, a mountain of paperwork that could gag a maggett and I just found living family from my dad's father........ This is not good. So far, I have been able to not go to the website and fill in the blanks, but it's hard :-)
The only thing I used to know, was that granddad was born in 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch) and baptized in the St. Jan Cathedral. He had 14 siblings, and one brother went to the US. Grandpa's family went to Australia, except for dad. That's it.... I found records in the archives and was piecing things together, when Mike's health started to make "fun time" a luxury, that we would rather spend together, and holed up upstairs, mired in papers, so it has been on hold. By accident, I found information on a cousins Heritage site, and now I'm having all kinds of hives because I want to start digging again..... I keep telling myself I need to get thru the current crap before entertaining doing research, but I'm afraid it's a question of "when" rather than "if" I cave..... I'll keep you posted :-)
Don't forget to hug a loved one!!!
