Up Updates Links Selected Histories Spittin' Image? Internet Family Tree

I update a few times a year. Here's some new stuff.

bulletI decided to put in a new feature called "Spittin' Images?"--It's all about family resemblances. Hope you like it!
bulletMy mom's second cousin Mary Ellen seemed upset that not much was not about her grandmother, Christina(Kristina) Myhre Regan.  I found some information for her!   She came to America in 1886 with her Mom's second cousin, Ole Torgalson Sletten's, family.  She was listed as a "Huholderske".   Christina was married on Aug. 11, 1891 to John Regan. I believe the Regans were railroad workers.  In the 1910 Census she is living in Chouteau, Montana.  I hope this helps you Mary Ellen! I'll keep looking!
bulletI received a lot of help from Leroy Madson, who is the "unofficial genealogist" of the Nora Lutheran Church.  He informed me that my great grandfather Lars Larson Myhre's land was a mile and a half south of where the current church and cemetery sits.  He gave me death dates of Lars' parents and other info that I have input into my Internet family tree.  It is also the church where my great grandparents were married, so it's cool that my mom, sister and I visited there.   A BIG THANKS to Mr. Madson.
bulletI have also input some new "Jones" information received from Mildred Cady, a relative of my great-great grandaunt, Martha Jones Patterson.  Here's a photo of Martha's grave Mildred graciously sent me:

bulletI added a little more about  my mom for a little "memory book" I am working on. 
bulletI'm still a volunteer transcriber for USGENWEB.  I like nothing better than finding free information on the web, so this is my way of helping out.  If you would like to volunteer, please visit this site:  http://www.usgenweb.com/volunteers/volunteers.html

Still entering data into my Internet Family Tree.  I've been attempting to input more data into it. I estimate I have over 400 pages of information to type into this.

I received some Civil War records I ordered regarding my great-great grandfather Joseph Stewart. It did not contain the information I was seeking.  I'm sill not sure if he was born in Prince Edward Island, Canada or Greenock, Scotland. A genealogical bummer.
