Postscript at 12 noon: The title should be “Retreat in defeat” because I didn’t accomplish much before “too hot” in the storage and carport.

There was a time when I planned to create a website with thousands of poems—poems that rhyme and have a beautiful message–indexed and with similar topic. I’ll never live long enough for that project.

.

Seriously, I had just published the 12-noon postscript when this email message arrived in my email box. Oops, that link went right into my email (my computer) so I can’t share her personal message to me. But (lacking her message to me), here is a valid link to her website.

Postscript at 5:00 PM: Indoor project.

I’m “in the mood” for outdoor “downsizing” but I despise the Texas heat.

According to Mike Rowe “Somebody’s gotta do it.”

Later…

Even later…

Today, the only “family history” is the box of “Showalter” genealogy for a cousin. Gratefully, “cousin” expressed an interest because it grieves me to toss my early years research in the dumpster. Truthfully, it is only valuable to me.

.

Patting myself on the back because I “exercized” (lol) willpower and did not spend any time at the computer doing genealogy.

A beautiful morning and Lorraine wasn’t at the computer “climbing the family tree.”

.

Encouragement for today.

Curiosity has me looking into information about Ivermectin. Any comments?

I went to bed but couldn’t go to sleep!! The computer was begging for attention. Quite unexpectedly, I found the “George Grisso Story” as a “source” and I’m delighted that “taggartclan” added it to Ancestry.com.

.

Postscript @ 2:55 AM: “Published” at 12:55 AM and that discovery led to two more hours documenting the Grisso family related to “taggartclan.” ~~ Now I’m heading to bed because I ran out of information. I speculate the owner of “taggartclan” is my sixth cousin one-time removed.

.

Postscript @ 4:30 AM: I went to bed at three and I’m still awake at four-thirty. I’m “up” because Mother Nature called. Believe me, I long for a good night’s sleep (and legs that don’t hurt, and less pain in my gut). Not complaining; always grateful for my many blessings!!

The following narrative was titled “Unraveling tangled relationships”  and was attached to the individuals in my Ancestry family tree. Many individuals were researched before the “tangled relationships” were outlined on scratch paper—and later documented for the benefit of future researchers.

This is an interesting observation by an astute Frantz-family researcher. The name “Rachel Bull” was first observed while documenting George Grisso in the 1870 Federal Census. No relationship listed for Rachel (while looking at George Grisso’s record). Later, it was noted that Rachel Huffman Bull was the sister of George Grisso’s first wife Eve Huffman (1815-1866). In the transcribed record for the 1870 Federal Census, Rachel is listed as “domestic servant.” More specifically, Rachel was George Grisso’s sister-in-law. Rachel’s daughter Esther J Bull (1850-  ) is listed as a “domestic servant” in the 1870 Federal Census, in the home of Catherine Huffman Mellinger but Esther J. Bull is the niece of Catherine Huffman.

Hours of research did not reveal additional information for Emma Bull. Here are the “comments” listed with Emma.

Postscript at 5:30 PM: Information was searched—and documented—and images were prepared. Many of my questions remain unanswered. When I can’t locate information In Ancestry, I turn to FamilySearch. Today, FamilySearch was a disappointment.

So beastly hot, I just want to sit at the computer!! The weatherman predicted “over one-hundred degrees” and then we need to factor the “heat index” also known as “feels like” temperature. ~~~~~ Postscript:  Below is the “Tuesday” image of “Monday” numbers.

This weblink popped up on my computer screen—probably because Google knows I “do” obituaries. So here is a different kind of blog message from Lorraine. (More pictures at the weblink.)
