Why the blog

Taylor is a common name, so I adder my connection to the name which is my mother.  Research is a lot of work and really is a lot more fun when you can share it.  This is one of the reasons for this blog.  The second would be so I can share and try to identify some of the people in the pictures.   This is a big project and hope it works well.

I am going to upload some older pictures and label them  as soon as I can.  I am scanning them in at a higher DPI in case I do find something I might want to zoom in on.

One of my aunts (Judy) sat with my Grandmother and asked her about some of the pictures.  She sent it to me on a DVD.  She would of been talking about pictures that Gordy scanned in.  My genealogy friends spend a lot of time putting things together and labeling them.

I was talking to my mom today and was told Sonny was Grandma peters son that lived where he could have 24 hour care.  I don't remember if I ever heard what was wrong with him.  I did ask what grandma Peter's name was so I could make sure I had the correct facts with the right people.  So Grandma Peters name was Alma.  So now you see what happens, I am Lynn and Alma is my mom's grandma who was the person talking and I have to translate to my great grandma.

This is all Genealogy.  I glad I am doing this while I still have people to talk to.
