Wow-Time moves fast

It has been too long since the last post-but on the other hand, maybe no one cares. I have been in AZ, MN, and now back to to AZ. I worked on picking up parts for my 49 Ford pickup project and of course, Sandy makes me work in the meantime. She is a slave driver. I have lots of work on car stuff lined up when I return to MN.

When I returned to the US from Germany I implemented the family tree search process. The box of information I acquired when Grandma Nielsen passed away gave me a start to the history. I purchased a subscription to ancestry.com and started looking. So far, the progress has been beyond what I expected. I found links to the Nielsen Family and was especially blessed with finding Niels Nielsen, an ancestor residing in Denmark who has a passion for the family. His infomation and work on the family history takes us back to the early 1700"s. He continues to offer a wealth of information and is willing to continue the search as needed. He has found relatives I never knew of in Denmark and in the US.

I also very recently found connections to Grandma Nielsen(s)  (Mealey) side of the family. While not as detailed or complete. it still has led me back quite a ways on the search. I have found other family trees that seem initially to be unrelated, but which have been genuinely connected to the immediate family. I am confident this will move along faster when I get time to work on it

The Mischke side of the family is less complete than I would want, but I am confident this will proceed once the time avaiable to me lets me search. This history seems to be more in the US than the Nielsen and Mealey family trees. Don't know about those newcomers.

Anyone in the family who would like to assist is welcome. Brenna has a keen interest and will be assisting as Parker gives her the time. If anyone connecting to this blog has an interest or knows of someone who wants to connect/or help, let me know.

One of these links has been to the Hardy Family, which goes back again to the 18th century. My connection there has been able to offer the tree access, with less other information. I have less interest in long term search there, but the history I have found is quite deep.

While in AZ I expect to nurse along my roses, which are doing well, and visit car events. Brenna will arrive tommorow for a visit and we intend to travel with she and Parker, as well as hanging out in the AZ sun.  We have become child friendly, with baby beds, high chairs and other entertainment tools acquired from Craigs list. It has been cool for here, with only one 100 degree day so far, but this is AZ, the temp will climb soon. Expect a warm summer.
