My Journey

As a lover of all things old and beautiful I like to think that we all have a connection to the past and to the future. I have been a collector for over 40 years. My treasure hunts have changed some - but not totally through the years. I am very interested in Geneology though I have not been real active in research I love and respect the work my family members have done.
11-13-15 Recently I have been pretty active in Geneology research. I am a Ancestry member. It has been a valuable source of information. I also have made contacts with some of my distant relation that have shared much with me. My Mom was a descendant of the Schwindamann clan with roots in Marysville, Kansas , LaSalle, Illinois and Germany. My Fathers side is Grotz from Luxembourg,Germany, spent some time in Illinois and Beloit, Kansas.
