Robert Frost's poem "A Cliff Dwelling" reminds me of the people who must have lived here "Oh years ago--ten thousand years" and enjoyed the beauty and safety of a cliff. A place "to rest from his besetting fears". Welcome to mine.
In 2014 I featured a series of blog posts introducing you to 2,014 names. For the most part they were names that were brand new to me as well. Some names may be more familiar but I found the meaning or origin or some other aspect of the name made it worthy of inclusion here. You may love some of the names, you may hate some, but hopefully you enjoy learning about all of them.

What I found
So I went to the Family History Center today and did genealogy for about an hour. I found possible birth dates and places for all of John T. Jenkins' siblings. Now I just need to find a more reliable source on them to be sure. I don't plan on doing any more genealogy for a couple of weeks, but when I do, I think I will stick with the Jenkinses and Pughs.

I think you should change your whole theory on doing genealogy instead of doing it to get to know your ancestors you should do it to find a link to a fortune that you can lay claim to. If you need help I would be willing to help out:)
ReplyDeleteSo what shows do you watch nowadays? Beth and I watched the first episode of Celebrity Apprentice but it was kinda lame so we haven't watched since. Beth and I are really excited to get back into the Lost series again which I hope it doesn't dissappoint.
ReplyDeleteWhy the new signature name? And, I don't get it, what is a "flavorbot"?
ReplyDeleteSo far, most of our ancestors were on the poor side. It might take too much work to find the ones that have an inheritance to leave.
Well, I watch all kinds of shows, though, of course, I'm pretty excited for Lost to return. Mondays I watch Medium, Tuesdays I watch Law and Order SVU sometimes I stay up and watch The Real Housewives of Orange County, Wednesdays Law and Order Criminal Intent and just regular Law and Order and I stay up late to watch Project Runway. The rest of the time it's just hit or miss whatever I may find on t.v. But February will bring back Survivor, so I hope to be watching that as well. I've never watched The Apprentice, celebrity or otherwise. The words "you're fired" make me nervous.
