I'm ashamed at how long it has been since I've commented on my genealogy
work. But I continue to plug along day by day. I spent most of 2010 working on the Lukens line for a family reunion
and have now turned my attention to the Libsack lines for a June 2011 family reunion.
I must say that working
on my husband's ancestry has almost been more fun than working on my own - but mostly because my Mother had completed
so much of our family history before her death in 1974. I've spent the time to take all of her records and put them
into my software but not alot else. Steve's family on the other hand - all of Germans from Russia descent - and
hardly researched by his family at all. I have had success in connecting with others who have researched the Libsacks
and Webers and their help has been invaluable. I have developed a passion for the Germans from Russia story as it is
truly one of strength and determination, honesty and hard work. What these people endured is truly unbelievable.
My daughter just gave me a series of three books on the topic and was even more enlightened.
I have lots
of work to do to get the genealogy book ready for the reunion! If you have Lobsack ancestry - please contact me and
send me any information you have. I eagerly share all of my information with anyone who will send me their information
as well - the past does not belong to any one of us - but, rather to all of us.
