I doubt that--although I was told that I was recently--by someone who did not know me very well. <br /><br /> I guess I have a gift for fooling people. No, I am just a plain old farm boy from Hamilton County, Iowa. <br /><br /> Some people have told me, after knowing me for awhile, that they were intimidated by me at first. What a shock. I guess I need to think about how I project myself. I just try to be myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-28596911718326206612009-06-29T22:44:05.857-07:002009-06-29T22:44:05.857-07:00Very interesting.

I have been researching my family since 1996 and it has been so rewarding. I will never forget the time that I met my grand uncle's son and his children in St. Louis! Susan, your children and grandchildren will be forever grateful for all of your efforts and hard work!Dave K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-8832366531696758662009-06-26T13:16:42.095-07:002009-06-26T13:16:42.095-07:00I hope so.

It will not be quite as easy because most of the information will be in that old Norwegian which my great grandmother would have understood. Fortunately, Norwegians were almost as diligent as the Germans were in keeping records. rwAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-77872724453704989262009-06-26T11:59:11.325-07:002009-06-26T11:59:11.325-07:00yes, Richard..you have reminded me that I need to ...yes, Richard..you have reminded me that I need to do the Trout's Norwegian history also.Schnitzel and the Trouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074542460030763545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-61410664978190780432009-06-26T11:42:52.375-07:002009-06-26T11:42:52.375-07:00Yes, this genealogy 'virus' is terribly ad...Yes, this genealogy 'virus' is terribly addicting I have found. I have made so many contacts with distant relatives through the years and they have all been helpful. Two of those people are my 'friends' on Facebook. I have not met either of them in person but we have shared a lot of family information so it seems as if I know both of them. <br /><br /> Most of my contacts are in this country since my father's paternal English ancestors all arrived in New England and Virginia in the 1600's. My German ancestors arrived in Pennsylvania in the late 1600s and early 1700s. However, I have contacts in Scotland and Norway that have been very helpful. Thank goodness they know how to communicate in English. You are fortunate that you know German.<br /><br />I have been lax lately in doing family research. You have motivated me into thinking about it again. I thought it was fun to realize that Dale and I share some of the same Norwegian ancestors. rwAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-40534138585580190462009-06-26T09:13:02.588-07:002009-06-26T09:13:02.588-07:00How great is this!
