An email inquiry arrived overnight. A “cousin” was asking for information from a book I published in 1996: Frantz Families–Kith & Kin. So, I’ve spent the morning reviewing the information I published to the website almost exactly two years ago (20 Jan 2013). In the process I noted that my father passed from this life fifty years ago (17 Jan 1965). Dad shared very few details about his youth. I was not exposed to grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I knew nothing of my ancestry until I began research in 1987. I was (am) thrilled with the information I discovered through exhaustive research!! ~~ Now I am endeavoring to check “links” on that web site and verify if they are still viable. (Fortunately, I’m feeling fine today!!)
