Genealogy Day

Didn't follow any new blogs today. Nothing particularly caught my eye that I wasn't already following.

Wrote today in Oh, Spusch about some new discoveries I made last on the Hansen side. Might lead to some interesting finds down the road.
Tried to do some more research on my Jewish family. Think the best bet I have right now is trying to get Dora Hillinger nee Kresch's citizenship papers or her Social Security application. So I guess that's my next step. And possibly picking my dad's head and seeing if he has anything else hidden away that I don't know about.

Looked into Drop Box, but it doesn't look like you can make the folders private, so I don't think that will be a solution for me, even though it looked like it might be.

Put together a Calendar of all the full dates I have in my family tree--not much yet, as most of what I have are either uncertain dates or only years. So I thought I'd do a little week-to-week calendar each Friday.
This week in my family tree:
August 1 -
Johan Petter Bordevick in Sor-Trondelag, Norway in 1802
August 3 -
Jorgen Larsen born in Vejle, Denmark in 1837
Bjarne Bordewick born in the Lofoten Islands, Norway in 1888
August 5 -
Mette Matiasdatter born in Vejle, Denmark in 1804

  1. Heh, you might want to spell out "SS", because when you're talking about Jewish people and "SS" applications, it makes my brain go to the wrong place. The really, really wrong place...Just sayin'...
