This week, our theme is “In the Kitchen.” So many memories revolve around meals and cooking together. Do you have an ancestor who was a good cook (or maybe a notoriously bad cook!) What about a favorite recipe — where did it come from or who always cooked it?
Pandemic Project #3
More group photos from Nebraska, but this time I’ve recruited some of the rest of the family to identify the people in the photos, and we do it live on video!
Pandemic Project #2
I actually started this one two weeks ago but got sidetracked with work stuff. Here are two group photos from Grandma Rudeen’s photo album, and dad helped me identify nearly everyone!
Grandpa Rudeen’s 4th Cousin
I made a major, MAJOR breakthrough in the ancestry of my Grandpa Lawrence Rudeen, through his mother Augusta Mathilda Gustafsdotter. At last, we have a true celebrity in the family!
