Long Ago

Long ago, before printing presses, telephones, and instant replays, our ancestors kept records of people, information, and history by telling the same stories many times.  These stories passed down from generation to generation.

Morgan Family of Virginia/West Virginia, Illinois, Missouri

I added a section for the Morgan Family of Virginia/West Virginia, Illinois, Missouri to the Collateral Families page of the HenthornFamily Wiki. This is the family that founded Morgantown, WV. There is a link to the Henthorn family via Brooky Kyger.

I included a link to the Stories page, on the Wiki, where you can find the very interesting stories written by T. Clifford Morgan.

Updates to HenthornFamily Wiki

Numbering Systems

I added two links to the Numbering Systems section on the first page of the HenthornFamily Wiki. One link points to the genealogy numbering systems page on Wikipedia and the other points to the Ahnentafel page on the Wiki itself.

Story by Mary Josephine (Henthorn) Bolerjack

On the Stories page of the HenthornFamily Wiki I added a link to a 48-page PDF file written by Mrs. Mary Josephine (Henthorn) Bolerjack in October 2005, titled, The Irish & The Dutch.

During one of my many computer disasters this file was misplaced. Yesterday I found it on a thumb drive that I paid a computer shop to load with data from one of my failing laptops. I converted the file to PDF yesterday to get it ready for uploading today.

Have you considered writing stories or recollections about your family? I urge you to undertake the project. If you don't do it, who will?  If you are willing to share your stories on the Internet I will include a link on the HenthornFamily Wiki.

Conger

On the Stories page of HenthornFamily Wiki I posted a 50-page PDF document titled, A Collection of Documents about Members of the Conger Family, compiled by Richard E. Henthorn and Robert Guilinger.

I apologize for the fact that a blank page appears in the document. This was probably caused by the program I was using to generate the PDF.

I'm gathering GIF images that I used years ago on some of my webpages. I renamed some of them to group similar buttons in sets. Some of the images have already been uploaded to my RootsWeb Freepages space and you will see them on pages I have been sharing on the Wiki. (I used one of those images on this page.)

For years I've wanted to upload a set of webpages created by one of my genealogy programs to a website to learn more about the steps in that process. I now have the tools in place to carry out this project. I located a set of PAF pages suitable for the experiment. I'll make this my next combined Freepages and HenthornFamily Wiki project.

HenthornFamily Wiki

New Stories

Today I added links to six stories on the Stories page of the HenthornFamily Wiki.  These stories were last shared on the Internet in the Fall of 2008.

Five of the stories were written by siblings, Herman Henthorn and Mary Josephine (Jo) (Henthorn) Bolerjack.  One of the stories was written by yours truly, Richard E. (Edson) Henthorn. Jo Bolerjack and Richard Henthorn collaborated on Henthorn genealogy for many years. Richard served as typist and editor on the stories written by Jo and Herman.

FreePages Project

FreePages Project

This morning I posted a link to the Civil War Diary of William Lock Henthorn on the HenthornFamily Wiki.  I create a new page, Stories, on the Wiki where links to stories will be posted.  Look for Stories in the left hand column.  The Civil War Diary file resides in my FreePages space on RootsWeb.  When you view the webpage you'll discover that there is a navigation button at the bottom of the page which you can click to return to the Stories page on the wiki.

To assist in navigation from by Google blogs a link to the HenthornFamily Wiki was added to the sidebar "Links" area of the four blogs.

As time and my interest permit I plan to upload other files, created prior to the Fall of 2008, to the Internet thus making them available once again to anyone who's interested.

As always your feedback is welcome.

Writing Stories in Personal Historian 2

Writing Stories in Personal Historian 2:

'via Blog this'

There's a new version of Personal Historian. I don't own a copy of this program, but it does look interesting. This is a link to information on Facebook. (Let's see if I can share it with Blog This!)

Stories

I will teach you hidden lessons from our past -- stories we have heard and know, stories our ancestors handed down to us. We will not hide these truths from our children but will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord. (Psalm 78:2-4)
