Today I added a page which will link to artifacts I catalog – books, victrola’s, ancient toys, gravestones etc.
I also added a page for Mary Alice (Schrier) Yuska. I added her simply because as I was searching for information about Frank Schrier on the web, her name came up along with a photograph of her gravestone from St. Wenceslas Cemetery in Clutier.

I added two calendar pages – one for current family birthdays and anniversaries and another for family history events. Also added an obituaries page with copies of newspaper and other obituaries for family members.

William, Harvey Tom and Bob Thorson, about 1920
Today I downloaded the 1920 Census Page from Meckling Township, South Dakota and published it to the website. Bessie Thorson and her sons were living there at that time.
In the 1920 Census, Bessie Thorson was 36, living in Meckling Township, South Dakota, in the household of William Kutzler, age 74, and his wife Emma, age 61. Bessie’s occupation ws listed as public school teacher. The boys were Robert A, age 11, William K., age 9, and Harvey Tom, age 7. See the census document here.
The photo at right is not directly related to the census, but illustrates Bessie’s three boys, probably about 1918 to 1920, since Tom was born in 1914.

I’m going to move the website to this WordPress blog for several reasons. First, I’m concerned about security and posting information about kids and our family, especially photos, on a public website. So I’ll probably use Facebook for any that “current” information posted.
This site, then, will concentrate on genealogy – preserving information and documents about our families from the past.
