Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:
It's Saturday Night again
-
Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
Our assignment from Randy Seaver of Genea-Musings:
1) Have you researched the ancestors of your spouse (or significant other)? Please list the names and vital records data for your spouse/SO's grandparents and great-grandparents like in an Ahnentafel Report.
2) Have you written genealogical sketches and/or biographies for each of them?
Here's mine:
I am on the California Zephyr traveling across Nevada,
logging in when we get to a big city where there is cell service.
Let’s start with part 2 first. Yes, I have written about my husband’s family. I wrote a three-generation book about his Nilsen family who immigrated from Sweden, and a three-generation Kinship Determination Project (KDP) about his Lundquist family for my initial BCG certification. I also write posts about them regularly on my blog.
Here is the ahnentafel of his grandparents and great grandparents. I am grateful for RootsMagic preparing this for me.

I knew yours would be well organized! It's great that you have all the grandparents and great-grandparents.
ReplyDeleteThese weren't too hard to find. The family kept better records.
DeleteThat's true American melting pot - Pennsylvania, the heartland, Sweden and westward bound. :)
ReplyDeleteYet, they were recent immigrants.
