So I have been digging, digging, and digging...trying to find more info to build my family tree, as I noted in my last post. So how is the search going? Arrg.....but with a few cool suprises.
Well....I seem to have made a fairly straight line back to my 3rd Great Grandparents on my mother's (Dietz-Deitz) side. But with alot of missing info that I hope some cemeteries will be able to provide some names (mainly the wives of some of my great grandfather's, and hopefully some of their history) and years of birth and death.
The U.S. Census records on the web have been very helpful and alot of Geneological sites have some interesting info on some members of this side of my family. There was an online obituary of my Great Great Grandfather that listed his children and some of the locations where they had moved or resided...which gives me some more links to find some extended family. Places such as Rice Lake-Wi., Waupaca-Wi, Milwaukee-Wi and even North Dakota.
I still am running into major blocks when it comes to the Repinski side, but hopefully some of my releatives will have some info and I hope to jog my dad's memory a little bit here and there for some other family names, as well as visiting some cemeteries in Stevens Point and Plover to look at some gravesites for names and years.
So it seems a road trip is in order. I may just take a drive north this weekend. I have sunday off. Wish me luck.
Happy Thursday......
