The Genealogy Search

I am driving to #FGS2016 from Tucson, Arizona.  My first goal is to make it to Madison Wisconsin and research at the Wisconsin Historical Society.  The target of my research is my husband's family - Drvaric, Drezdzon, Drezdon, Dresdon, Mikolajczak, Kwiecienski.  I have my research list made and ready to go. The next target is Forest Park, Illinois to visit  cemeteries where family are buried: Concordia, Forest Home  and  Wunder's cemeteries.  Then on to Ridgewood Memorial to visit my Grandparents graves in Des Plaines.  I may look up some old high school friends and visit the old neighborhood.   While I am in the area I am going to stock up on some bright green or Chicago Relish as it is also called.  Never heard of Chicago relish?

The second Saturday of the month of March is  Genealogy Day!   Celebrate by taking some time to find a new record, watch a webinar to learn new skills or take the time to catch up on your genealogy reading - books, magazines or blogs.   I am off to the Tucson Festival Books  http://tucsonfestivalofbooks.org/  to see what interesting books I can find.  Poundstone Family Tree - 1933 drawn by George C.
