No blog today, I was sick in bed all day. Did get the brakes done on the van... $450.00 broker, at least I can stop, but my check engine light is still on... I just need a newer car... Smaller too, better gas milage... Something that is Mine and My Grrrls, together...
 
So, back to work, nose to the grindstone, if for nothing other than getting caught up!
 
Blessed Be!

First BISHOP & BUSH coupling

First BISHOP & BUSH coupling.
Was not my mother and father. It was in fact Ritchie BUSH and William BISHOP in 1870 in Indiana.

Ritchie was "Your mother of 2nd cousin 4x removed". Strangely enough, the BUSH was on my father's side!

Blessed Be!

No blog today, so tired and run down from my stoopid cold! Did some more family tree stuff... Found I am a direct descendent of King Edward I, II and III. Plus, Edward I's father, Henry III. Haven't gone farther back than that...

Steak for dinner! Yummy! Now, watching Lock Up with My Grrrl, the to pick up a kiddo at 9:00, then off to bed! Laundry in the morning,ugh, then the kids to Nana's then, back to bed...Maybe even stay in bed on Monday... If I don't feel better... I need to take care of me, so that I can take care of others...

Night all!

Blessed Be!

My 33rd Great Grandfather!

Björn (ruled 882-932[1]) was the father of Olof (II) Björnsson and Eric the Victorious, and he was the grandfather of Styrbjörn the Strong, according to the Hervarar saga and Harald Fairhair's saga. According to the two sagas, he was the son of an Erik who fought Harald Fairhair and who succeeded the brothers Björn at Hauge and Anund Uppsale:

King Önund had a son called Eric, and he succeeded to the throne at Upsala after his father. He was a rich King. In his days Harold the Fair-haired made himself King of Norway. He was the first to unite the whole of that country under his sway. Eric at Upsala had a son called Björn, who came to the throne after his father and ruled for a long time. The sons of Björn, Eric the Victorious, and Olaf succeeded to the kingdom after their father. Olaf was the father of Styrbjörn the Strong.(Hervarar saga)[2]

The latter saga relates that he ruled for 50 years:

There were disturbances also up in Gautland as long as King Eirik Eymundson lived; but he died when King Harald Harfager had been ten years king of all Norway. After Eirik, his son Bjorn was king of Svithjod for fifty years. He was father of Eirik the Victorious, and of Olaf the father of Styrbjorn. (Harald Fairhair's saga)[3]

In Olaf the Holy's saga, Snorri Sturluson quotes Thorgny Lawspeaker on king Björn:

My father, again, was a long time with King Bjorn, and was well acquainted with his ways and manners. In Bjorn's lifetime his kingdom stood in great power, and no kind of want was felt, and he was gay and sociable with his friends. (Saga of Olaf Haraldsson)[4]

When Björn died, Olof and Eric were elected to be co-rulers of Sweden. However, Eric would disinherit his nephew Styrbjörn.

Adam of Bremen, however, only gives Emund Eriksson as the predecessor of Eric the Victorious. Since the Swedes seem to have had a system of co-rulership (Diarchy), it is probable that Emund Eriksson was a co-ruler of Björn's.

The "M"s are done! Woohoo! I am down to 1,927 hints!  That is good! My goal is to get all of the hints, with the exception of the BISHOP's I suppose, before the 1940 census gets released!
 
Not much else to report today. I think that I will start a separate tree for Heather and her family. I have to figure out how to move all of the information that I already have... That will be the challenge!
 
That is all for today!

No new info today. I have not had a chance to get on Ancestry.comn lately. Thursday was busy, Friday Robert was sick so I left work early, and today the internet is really slow, so it is frustrating trying to get online to do anything!

I have been doing the "M"s, and I am in the McCARTY's. i have found a ton of pictures this lat week, but I still have not figured out how to get to my second cousin Reudell's tree. I think that I will call about it on Monday, maybe Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday?

That is all for now, Heather and I are going to Kaufmans here in a bit, that should be fun!

Blessed Be!

What a day! Busy! I don't even know what it was that kept me so busy, I do know that there was a cluster fu*k a little while ago. I also know that the last 20 minutes is DRAGGIN!
 
Tonight, me and My Grrrl, have a hair date, maybe... Depending on moods, and tummys.
 
Not much to post today, my dad's cousin Ruedell is going to get me some pictures that I do not have yet. I think that I will concentrate on getting more of my pictures on Ancestry.com, and maybe I will call tech support tomorrow to see why it is that I cannot see her in her Mom's tree!
 
That is all for now!

Happy valentines day! I didn't blog, I was busy, and the day was generally crappy until I went home. My Grrrl came to get us from work.

Nice night, had Dion's for dinner, then I got the worst headache ever and My Grrrl put me to bed.

I have not been sleeping well the last few nights, I wake up early, yesterday it was at 5:15, today at 4:15, at least today I went back to sleep!

My headache is coming back, I think that it is dental related, ugh, I hope not...That hurts my head thinking about expense... :(

Well' here we go, gonna push on through the day. It snowed last night, but not enough to be a reason to stay home. :(

Blessed Be!

Laura Bell Guynn

Turns out she is NOT my relative. Did I post this already? I feel like I did... I thought that she was my great great grandfather's first wife. But alas, she is not... So I have deleted her from my tree. :( Kinda sad to loose her!
 
Not much to update today. I have to take Robert to the dentist later, and Heather comes in around 5:00! I am very excited and anxious for that to happen!
 
So, since I have a short work day, I have not much time for blogging!

Didn't t blog yesterday, running all day! Rob was at a friends last night, still is. Cara went to the movies with friends, Marie and I watched that prepped show... Interesting! Whitney Houston died, so there was some time watching CNN. I cleaned the bathroom, and cleared 1 of the 12 pages of M's!

Today, I will vacuum and clean the living room...it was snowing, according to posts on Facebook, but I dont think that it is now. I need to get up, grabs big glass of ice water, clean, and then maybe watch some movies...

I miss My Grrrl, but she comes home tomorrow! The last day is ALWAYS the longest!

Here's to the day!

So, I just made a discovery, based on a photo, nothing else, I have found that I have a black ancestor. I am not sure how this makes her my great grand aunt, from this diagram, she looks like a great great grandmother... Ok, I just looked at my trees. Laura Bell and Mary Francis (my great grandmother) were half sisters... They had the same mother... Anyhow, that is my big discovery for the day. She is not my direct line, but I am intrigued, so I will follow her line and see where it leads me!
 
 
Laura Bell GUYNN (1882 - 1922)
is your great grand aunt
Mother of Laura Bell
Daughter of Margaret H.
Son of Mary Frances
Daughter of Guy Carson
You are the daughter of Elaine R
 
That is all for today, I have the worst headache and backache today. I think that the headache is from the weather, and the backache is from sleeping alone. WHICH I DON'T PREFER!!!

Wednesday February 8th, 2012

LOL! Today would have been my like 19th wedding anniversary! Glad that I got out of that. Not soon enough, but everything happens for a reason, even if we don't get it or like it...Whatever, I am happy now.
 
Today I went to Carrie Tingley in hopes of finding pictures of my grandfather. I am soda to say that I did not have any luck. I did find one picture, of a gentleman with his head down, and it seemed like it could be him, but then I realized that his hair would not have been gray yet, and this gentleman's hair was. I also realized that those were not my grandfather's hands. I am happy that I know what are and what are not my grandfather's hands...Those were not, so he was not. None of them were...
 
 
Now Cara is here at my office, telling me about the weird thing that she found in her lunch... It is always something with that kid...
 
I better get back to work!
 
Blessed Be!

Grrrr, when I get rid of hints on the website on the computer, and the I go to the ipad website, they are back! GRRRR!

I talked to Aunt Robbie today, and she gave me some idea of when Grandad was here in Albuquerque. 1942 to 1945. I have a date with Diane at Carrie Tingley to look at pics! I am bummed that I wont have as long as I hoped to be there. I have this stoopid meeting I forgot about, and I told Cara that I would go get her after school because she does not feel good...

Anyhow, I am stoked about the pictures hunt, I hope that I have good luck!

I better go, I am supposed to be taking minutes... blah!

Tomorrow is my date with the picture lady at Carrie Tingley Hospital. I need to call my Gramma Inez tonight to see what years they were stationed here. Not that the pictures are in order from what I know, but it might help to have an age span to know when I am looking! Wish me luck!

Well, I have been working on my family hints on Ancestry.com. I have completed the A's, U,s V's, X's, Y's and Z's! I am down to 3,001 people in my tree, and  3,812 hints! That is still a lot, but I like the idea that I have come up with. This was getting out of control. I want to find my families history, but I don't need everything about everyone that even knew my family... Possible talked to my blood once or twice! LOL
 
Muhahaha, (that is my evil laugh) now the I's are done as well. There was only 1.
 
I better get back to work now.

Have not blogged in a few days, didn't blog yesterday as we were going all day, from sun up till WAY after sun down.

Upward Bound Meeting for Cara, Nana's, lunch, home, laundry, home for dinner, then game night. That was fun. laughed A LOT!

Friday, crazy busy at work, so that is that.

My Grrrl is gone and that has screwed up my routine. I find myself doing "stuff" to keep busy. Or is it because I don't seem to do "stuff" when she is around, and if that is it, why?

I have cleaned our room, cleaned out my drawers and bags, and all the stuff by my side of the bed. I did some improvements to the preparedness supplies. Today, I planted some trumpet seeds in soda bottle min greenhouses. They are in the bedroom window, that window gets sun ALL day long.

We are watching the Super Bowl. I am enjoying most of the commercials. I can't think of any that I have not enjoyed, except the beer ones. Cara's team is not doing well, but at least Marie is not home to rub it in! LOL!

Another "stuff" I did, was gather things to scan and add to Ancestry.com. I also have a game plan now... I am going to go through my tree and ignore the hints of in laws... So, if my great great great blood Aunt's husbands family has hints, I am going to ignore it. That should get rid of some of the hints that are slowing me down. I have been doing that on my Ancestry app, that keeps me busy too.

Well, I better go now, it is the end of the first quarter, I better go grab some chips and dip out of my helmet bowl! My team my not have made it, but my Boyz are still here in spirit. Plus I have my socks and jersey on!

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

Here is the flyer that I am sending to family this weekend. Along with a self addressed stamped envelope in each letter. I am hoping against hope to get something, anything back this time. I am sending a big envelope with 7 extra letters and envelopes to send stuff back to me, incase people drop by, her sister in law Joe, people like that.

I am even sending one to my step mom, Viki, hoping that she has stories, or pics, paperwork, whatever. I hope that it will not be to hard for her, and I hope that her husband understands. I imagine that he will, I have talked to him on Facebook, and he seems pretty nice! Good for her!

Well, that is all for today. Today Heather leaves and I have to take her to the airport in a few hours. Not looking forward to that. I hate it when she goes... She dislikes going as well, so that makes it harder...

Anyhow,

Blessed Be!
