Thanks to Cousin Orval Dehning I just finished scanning in several years of newsletters from the Dehning Family Association in Germany. So much good information is contained in those newsletters that demonstrate things the family went through in the early 1800’s, WWII and other memorable times in history. I’ll have to see if it’s permissibleContinue reading “Early German Farm House”

Family Connections – way back to early colonists
It has always been interesting to me as I research my family and Cory’s family how closely their paths matched over time. Knowing that our ancestors could (and did) come from vastly different locations at different time periods it is not unreasonable to expect they they would follow somewhat similar migration patterns, but the frequencyContinue reading “Family Connections – way back to early colonists”
Dewald Ankeny and Andrew Putnam- Hugenots
Sometimes similar items show up together and this is one of those cases. I have been trying to reconcile some of the information on Cory’s family tree and shortly after finding the information for a Hugenot on my family, I find these two. Both Dewald and Andrew tie into the same family line for Cory.Continue reading “Dewald Ankeny and Andrew Putnam- Hugenots”
Mareen Duvall – Hugenot and Jacobite
Sometimes my research is focused, and sometimes I’m randomly clicking around looking at whatever catches my fancy. In one of those random days I stumbled into some information on the immigrant Mareen Duvall. For a tie-in, after Mareen, a 4th Generation Duvall married a Bayne, and four generations later, a Bayne married a Munter andContinue reading “Mareen Duvall – Hugenot and Jacobite”

Big Springs High School – 1946 Walkout!
What do you do when you don’t like the way the teachers are grading your work? You organize a school walkout. In October of 1946 the students of Big Springs High School got fed up when the teachers changed to a new grading system which is described in the article from the Beatrice Sun asContinue reading “Big Springs High School – 1946 Walkout!”
George Seibert – Nevada Gold Miner
This was an interesting find as I researched Cory’s 2X Great Grandfather George Seibert through the census records and the newspapers. George is the father of Cory’s Great Grandfather Harry Seibert who is the father of his grandmother Mildred Seibert. It started when I found George Seibert listed in Humboldt County Nevada in the 1910Continue reading “George Seibert – Nevada Gold Miner”
Murl and Harold Mauser – High School and College Sports
Sometimes a story comes along that is too good to pass up. Because of a story shared with me a little while ago I decided to put together this post detailing my Grandpa Murl and his brother Harold and their High School and College Sports achievements. I specify High School and College as I knowContinue reading “Murl and Harold Mauser – High School and College Sports”
Marjorie Bayne Munter – Cutest Baby Contest
I was working on putting together my documentation for my great grandmother Marjorie’s parents and in doing newspaper research found these clippings. It was nice to have a short project in the middle of the longer one, so I decided to post it now. Some of you will remember the story from Marjorie’s book ofContinue reading “Marjorie Bayne Munter – Cutest Baby Contest”
Mable Mauser – Women’s Basketball
Cory has been watching a lot of basketball lately, and it brought this story to mind. Mabel is my Great Grandfather Ben Mauser’s sister. She was the youngest of the family. In the Mauser Family history, there is a short article about the Big Springs girls Basketball Team and how crazy some of the gamesContinue reading “Mable Mauser – Women’s Basketball”
