On the road...

Genealogy quest is in spurts the past couple of weeks. Dredging up information and waiting to do a little hands-on research as I continue on a road trip has taken me from Virginia, through West VA, Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and into Arizona. THEN we finally arrived into and currently sit here in San Diego with Audrie, Ben and little Hillary. She is a charmer and being with my daughter is the most wonderful fun.

We are planning court house, library and historical society jaunts as well as noting various family stories from our family along the way. In a couple of days, we will head northward toward San Jose, Alameda, Pleasanton, Galt and Woodland, CA. Then, to Tess Trueheart's house in Ukiah. She is the family historian on my mother's side and has an amazing cache of information including family history much more intense than I have been able to dig up for the Silvan's. But I'm definitely on a roll.

We lived through 2 earthquakes yesterday and a couple day's ago. J.D. had never felt one before.... Until I can post another note about our trek, I send hugs and hope everyone is well.
