Excellent suggestion Sue! We found out, to late- after both my parents were gone, that we knew vary little of the family history from either side. We have since been in contact with members of my Dad's family (some of which are in their late 90's and early 100's) to get family history from them. I also have a cousin that is my age that has done some investigating and documenting prior to this. It will be quite a bit harder on my Mom's side since she was an only child, a lot of her relatives still live in the "Old Country" (Russia) and all relatives here in the States have already past on. The DW is trying to document anything we can to pass on to our children also. We hope to continue the investigations and try to find more documentation in records at the courthouses, and even through newspaper articles from the past.
