On many, many trips since I have run down my Dutch,Bavarian and Polish ancestors as far back as the records go, as well as my husband’s Swedish branch. Unfortunately, no films exist for much of his Pomeranian (German) ancestors.

I once spent two weeks at the Library and came home exhausted. Not a good idea and now I don’t stay more than 3 to 4 days on a visit. I find that for every day IN the Library and spend a FULL WEEK at home digesting and entering my finds into my database.

And by the way, I probably mentioned awhile back — my 2nd great-grandfather, John Haskin, was shot and killed by his brother-in-law.
According to the news article: It appears that Kinney was jealous of Haskins, suspecting him of undue intimacy with his wife, which was the cause of the quarrel. Haskins died confessing the crime of which Kinney suspected him. The latter is in custody.” (Custody didn’t last too long, however, as Kinney was found in the census only two years later.)
