July 2008
Nothing new yet, but just want to let you know that I am back and
am planning a revamping of this site. Or at the very least finishing
what I have started. I have been gone way to long.

UPDATE
|
Jan 12, 2005
Yes, another year has passed and though
at times it seems that time is standing still it passing by way to fast.
The last year has been slow at times where family history is concerned
but, as I look back there has been much accomplished. However, I
think I owe everyone an email or letter letting them know that I'm still
alive and kiking and that I still love them each one but, time has been
so tight I haven't been able to keep up.
The good news is that I have found some very interesting information
on the Gutzman line. I have managed to find Rosalia Stodolka's parents
and siblings on the Family Search site and am now really sure that I am
going to find Her and Daniel's marriage records and his files. I am
so excited and really hope to have some solid information to share soon.

Over the last few weeks I have added
several new items to the Custer
Co Home Page.
The scrap book page is full of wonderful articles and tidbits. The
two letters from the homeland during written during WWII are a must read.
Also, Peter Vanbrabant's contributions have been added, with the
promise of much more from this fellow who still lives in Belgium.
I have finished my NC Census pages of which can be found through the
main Census Index.
I hope to have the SC Census finished soon.

August 27, 2004
After a very long dry spell I have
finally been able to get a little added to Ambers Custer Co. family history.
Amber spent 3 weeks in Nebraska and upon her return was able
to share an abundance of family information. So, start looking for
many new additions to this site. Today I updated the French Table Cemetery
Records with the addition of several headstone pictures, as well as adding
an article from the Custer County Chief consisting of Jules Haumont's recollections
of his early pioneer days. A must read for any history buff.

JULY 2, 2004
Added photo's to Custer Co.
Family Photo's: thanks to Amber Thomas

JUNE 29, 2004
I realize I haven't been udating
this as I should, but the months have been hectic. That is not
to say that there isn't a lot going on in the world of genealogy even
though it is slow to get here. Amber has shared her entire family
history file with me, which includes many pictures, stories, and other
wonderful family interests. I have only managed to get a tidbit of
it on the site. You will find all information that I have linked to
the Custer
Co Home Page which is dedicated to her files with some of my
research added. But, keep looking because there is so much more to
come.
You will also find a new Nebraska
state page in it's beginning stages. I hope to have a page like
it for each of the main states that I have done research in. Here
you will find a link to the Nebraska Census that I have added as well as
many wonderful site links.
If you are a
Caulder researcher you will find some new Photo's sent in by Gwen Stewart,
grand daughter of Lawrence Caulder. I hope to see more from her
in the very near future.
I will try to do better at keeping this page updated. But,
please be patient as time grows ever increasingly short.

APRIL 17, 2004
These have been
most prosperous days in the eyes of this genealogist. So many wonderful
things have happened. With the addition of Amber to the ever
growing list of new family members I have learned so much about the
Govaerts and Haumont families, I will have much to add in the next few
weeks so you may want to keep an eye out.
Today is a red
letter day for the Gutzman Family Genealogy. I found the passenger
list for Daniel and Rosa. NOT the Liepzig, but, the SS Washington,
arriving April 29, 1874. And, on the same page with the Thomala's
(as expected) as well as Mathias Karash.
|
|
APRIL 13, 2004
I guess you're
saying "about time, Jean". But, I finally got something added.
Thanks to a brand new cousin, Amber Thomas, I have been able
to add the listing along with several photo's of the French Table Cemetery
and headstones within.
You can look forward
to many more surprises from Amber in the near futue.

NOV 7, 2003
I have added a
rather odd page. It is more or less to help me think through some of
the questions I have about Daniel and Rosa's life before coming to America.
It also gives some explanation of the new information I have received from Keith Andrews. You
can get there by clicking on the the question marks on the left. Hope
you enjoy.
|
|
Nov 4, 2003
Have added articles sent to me by
Keith Andrews, to the Sunny Hillside School Page.
|
|
Oct 23, 2003
I hate to admit that it has been so
long since you have seen anything on here from me. Since going
back to work my research and computer time has come to near stop.
But, I have managed to get my Sunny
Hillside School Records on line. Thanks to an email from
a neighbor, Keith Andrews, who ancestors were neighbors to Daniel Gutzman.
In fact, he has opened several new doors of research in the area
of which Daniel and Rosa were born and married. I am hoping that
this will bring me closer to some answers to the questions I have had
in the back of my mind for so long.

Aug 8, 2003
Well here it is Friday again
and I have nothing new on the site. That is not to say that
I have not been extremely busy in my family research. There has
just been an abundance of new information to sort out on a couple of
families. Our Caulder/Watts, family line is really coming along
and I expect to have a lot more to add on them in just a couple of weeks.
I have also received packets of information on the Sallees
and Woods family. I can't wait to share it all with you.
|
August 4, 2003
Just a note to let everyone know that I will be going back
to work full time this week. I know that it will slow my computer
down to a minimum but, will try to keep things up as much as I can.
If I am slow getting back to you or you don't hear from me for
awhile, not to worry, I will be here as soon as I can.
|
July 25-Aug 1 2003
I am a little late getting this posted this week. Did
not get anything new on the site as I have spent most of the week
in research.

We

and went home to be with the Lord on her 87th birthday. She will
truly be missed by her family and friends. I will try to have
her memorial ready by the end of next week.
During her service the night before her death David and
I were priveledged to meed many of Valley's family members and hope
to get to know them each in a very special way.

|
July 5-July 11 2003
This has been a very unusual week. Having returned
home from the Family Reunion I have been doing a lot of recuperating.
Didn't get as much research done as I would have liked but,
did spend a lot of time with my family. That means everything.
When I returned home, I had a letter from Donald Delbert
Sides' daughter, Debbie. What a nice surprise. It included
a picture of Donald and spurred me on to get a little more information
for her, Maxine and Betty. I have added the picture
on the Gutman Family Site. Hope you all enjoy it as much as
I did.

The Descendants
of Moses Sides: Just some preliminary research done in
the last few days. I hope to be able to add Christopher Sides as Moses
father soon. Just waiting to get to the North Carolina State
Archives to find some proof .

Have started Part 2 of the Daniel Gutzman Book. |
|
Have started Albert Gutzman's Photo Album.
Now I know why I have waited so long to do this one. There
are soooooo many pictures to choose from. I hope it is finished
by the time I leave on Sunday. I have spent most of the week on
this one project.

Venita Webb's

wait.

GREAT NEWS:
Found new family members. Betty, Maxine, and Donna.
Grandaughters of Jesse and Susie Sides. I look forward to exchanging
information with them as time goes by. Our family just keeps growing
and growing.
SAD NEWS: Dave
lost his sister, Vivian Faye, Sunday, the 15th. Faye had
battled lukemia four years ago and won. But, it left her with
many more health problems and her body just finally gave up. She
will be missed by all.

Daniel Gutzman
Book: New cover: added part one, Life in Prussia. Hopefully,
by the time I get ready to publish I will have a little more info
to add. I will be using this book as a guide and outline for
the actual printed book that I hope to have published by the end
of next year. Please, if you have any
suggestions, stories, photos, anything you would like to add, or are
good at writing and feel you could take what facts I have and turn
them into intersting reading, LET ME KNOW. If you are part of
this family it is your history, too. It is for your children
as well as mine, I am not that great at creative writing.
|

Photo's of
Sallie Odelia Smith, have been added to the Caulders of Robeson Co Photo
Album
|
|
I believe
I have found Arthur Caulder's father, finally. That would
be David's gggrandfather on his paternal side. His name
was Duncan Caulder, there is still some sorting out to do but, I
am sure I will get it pretty soon.
