I'm into geneology again. I made a major break through recently. To me it's a big deal anyway. I had found out a year ago that my great-grandfather Charles Wilson had been raised by his aunt and uncle. Through some great detective work I had figured out that his aunt's sister was his mother. There are some new records on the internet including death certificates. First I found his aunt's last name and found her family on the 1870 census. I then checked out her only sister who it appeared was still single. It was another road block until I looked again for Charles Wilson death certificate as I had done many times before but this time I found it!!! but I also found more intrigue! His mother was the older sister but she had never married and was still alive in 1880 living with her parents still. So why was Charles living with his aunt? His father was listed as "Runin" Wilson. Evidently it was a nickname and not a kind one, so again a dead end but some interesting info!! It's what makes genealogy fun.
John has not been doing well. The shot that he got for his back did not work and he still is in a lot of pain. He is hoping something else can be done. Janelle didn't want to drive her firebird through another winter so we took her car shopping and she bought a 2003 Dodge stratus. It should be more dependable and practical. She still needs to sell her firebird however.
Well thats all for now
Bye now
