So a little update to my small little following, I was looking at the stats for my blog (because I have nothing else to do DX ) and I noticed that we have a person from Poland looking at my blog. I was so happy that I had at least one person who was not apart of my class looking at this,

Hello My Polish Friend!

But I digress and return to my original subject. So To start off this week I have some antique photos to show you that I got from my Aunt Merr.


The first one is of my Grandfather when he was like 4



This one is of my Great Grandmother (GG) when she was a little girl.

Sorry about the pictures being sideways


So that is all the photos is have for now.

Back to my progress well i have been able to track back a few generations and i found some siblings of my grandmothers that i never knew she had. That was a funny moment. It took me forever but i also found the names of my Great Great Grandparents, Julius Schwartz and Sarah Schwartz. It will be easier to find people now because it is easier to access Census records from the early 1900's and they tell you a lot of information. Like I know Julius was an accountant who worked for the public and he was also a WWI vet probably in his early to mid 20's when he was in, he was also born in New York but his parents were from Austria. All this is from one document. You will learn very quickly that Census are your best friend. So that's my progress this week. See you next week!
