Happy New Year!
Just a quick genealogy update. The other day I mentioned that I had found a new Genealogy website at www.Gencircles.com. I loaded our GEDCOM file and a couple of days later checked back and found hundreds of total matches. In reality, I had perhaps 20-30 individual matches…it is just that several of them had tens of matches for each name. While this was neat, I haven’t had time to check them all yet and find out if there is useful new information that I didn’t have yet. I suspect that there will be. Unfortunately, there were no matches on the Klein lineage which is what I have the least information about. Hopefully I will uncover something someday soon and stop running into a brick wall!
Not much going on here today. We are pretty pathetic when it comes to celebrating the New Year. We did take the kids out to an early dinner this evening, and picked up a bottle of Bailey’s Irish Cream to complement our Tassimo Coffee. The kids picked up some sparkling grape juice. Ben got a free game from the EB Games store in the mall. He picked up a game that was marked $10 entitled Secret Service which was so old it came in one of those BIG boxes that computer games used to come in. When we brought it to the register, it apparently rang up at 1 cent, which meant that the store had already written it off. So, the manager told the salesman to just give it to him. That was pretty cool. The game was a 2001 game, so by gaming standards it is an antique, but he is upstairs enjoying his game right now. I think the fact that it was free made it that much more appealing to him since he was buying it with his allowance money. Delaney bought a music CD with her allowance money…..unfortunately it wasn’t free!
Tomorrow, my friend Nicole from High School will be dropping by for a short visit. She is in the DC area visiting her sister for New Year’s. It will be nice to see Nicole since we haven’t seen her for a few years. I think the last time I saw her was at her Father’s funeral in the 2003 timeframe.
I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year’s Eve and a very Happy New Year! Click HERE for some New Year’s fun!
