Happy Thanksgiving - Online tree - Sankey clippings

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

I just realized it has been about 10 months since I have posted here. Too many blogs, too little time.

I wanted to share the online tree that our cousin Jamie Toeppner created a few years back. There isn't a lot on the Sankey branch but he does have quite a bit of information on the Mechefske side. His site also has some wonderful photos and history of the area where many of our ancestors settled when they came to Canada. You can find all of this at www.toeppner.ca


I also came across a few clippings this week from The Canadian Lutheran Magazine that had family references.

Clipping from the Aug 1913 issue of The Canadian Lutheran Magazine

Happy Sunday! Loving this big fluffy snow that has been coming down all day. This stuff is easy to shovel.

I have added some newspaper clippings and a new page of "other" clippings ( same name no connection yet)
I have also started adding military records.

There is a new photo page for the Gruhl Matthews branch and I have added about a dozen pics to it.



Added a photo page for Haase / Monk. Just a few pics on there right now.

Jan 15th - Updates

I have started adding charts. I am started with my father because most of you reading this who are directly connected to me are from his or my generation.

I have decide to add some of the connected trees to this blog for now ( Monk, Haase, Gruhl and Matthews) Eventually I will be moving them to separate blogs but for now I am a little overwhelmed with about a dozen other blogs that I try to keep current both news and genealogy related.

I have been focusing a little on the Gruhl side now I am living closer to the area that they all settled in. I am hoping to gather enough into and make a trip up to Silver Lake there with Derek in the summer to take some cemetery photos.  Hoping there is family still living in the area.

Please please start writing down your memories. I would like to have a page for anecdotes and memories. It would be great to hear some stories of people my generation didn't get to know very well.

If you are If you are in my tree and would like a pdf file of your complete ancestry ( Of what I have found so far) starting with yourself. Send me an email suzycoolen@yahoo.ca  or on FB and I will generate one for you.
