A very belated Saturday Night Genealogy Fun post

Just getting around to reading blogs accumulated over the past week and thought I'd partake in Randy's fun idea. I copied and pasted a portion of a short story I wrote several years ago and uploaded it as he said to this site to see who I write like.


I write like
Oscar Wilde

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!





Oscar Wilde! And in one of those coincidental events, this evening our library had a presentation about his visit to Nebraska in 1882. I decided not to go but did read his bio on Wikipedia this afternoon. Spooky!

Grandma and Grandpa Niemoth lived on a farm and Jim and his sisters enjoyed spending weeks there in the summer.

I don't usually post photos from my husband's family but thought I would post this one. We found it as we looked for photos for his tribute video.

Saturday Night Fun - Matrilineal Line

Randy's Saturday Night Fun assignment:

1)List your matrilineal line - your mother, her mother, etc. back to the first identifiable mother. Note: this line is how your mitochondrial DNA was passed to you!

2) Tell us if you have had your mitochondrial DNA tested, and if so, which Haplogroup you are in.

3) Post your responses on your own blog post, in Comments to this blog post, or in a Note or status line on Facebook.

Grace Jones, 1923-2009
Elizabeth Wilmot Worth, 1888-1985
Flora Lucinda Swift, 1859-1927
Eunice Calista Robinson, 1832-1906
Rachel Walker, 1807-after 1880
Rachel Cochran, 1768-1847

I have not had any DNA testing done, but I would like to. Too many other family history projects going on to do it anytime soon, I'm afraid.
