Teenage Bullying

I NEVER thought I was going to have to deal with this. Hunter is going through a really tough time right now. I feel really bad for him and guilty at the same time. I wish kids would think about what they are saying and or doing to others and think how they would feel it was being done to them! I am very grateful that he has the friends he does because they are the reason I know what has been going on. He didn't want to tell anyone because he did not want to bother them. I feel like I have let him down somehow. I'm hoping tomorrow will be the start to a better week for him!! HUNTER I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

US Marine Casualty Cards

Earlier this week I got my copy of Family Tree Magazine and I was reading an article that led me to World War II History Network and from there I found a link to an article about the United States Marine Corp making their casualty cards searchable. You can find the database at Casualty Cards Database. Fred Thomas, my husbands great uncle, was in WWII and in the Marines. I searched the database and found : On the first page it states : While the cards for World War II through Korea are not classified, however, they can often be very graphic. Therefore, to maintain the dignity and honor of the Marines, the individual cards will only be released, upon request, on a case by case basis. To request a card, please send an email to history.division@usmc.mil or a request in writting to: United States Marine Corps History Division Attn: Reference Branch 3078 Upshur Avenue Quantico, Virginia 22134 . I immediately sent an email {about 12:30 am because

Elizabeth Jane Savage Thomas

Elizabeth Jane Savage is my husband's 3rd great grandmother. She was born in Columbia County, Pennsylvania on 1 May 1821 to Henry and Elizabeth (Frantz) Savage. Elizabeth married Joseph Thomas (#2 of 52) on 19 June 1854 and they had the following children: Daniel W. Thomas John W. Thomas Joshua Eugene Thomas Parvin Oscar Thomas Ella G. Thomas William James Thomas Anna E. Thomas When Joseph was killed in April of 1865 in the Civil War Elizabeth continued to take care of their children. She did not remarry. She remained in Fishing Creek Township, Columbia County, Pennsylvania where I found them in the 1860 Census. From the List of Pensioners I found that in 1883 Elizabeth was getting $8.00 a month to care for her family. Elizabeth died in April of 1890 and she is buried in Dodson Cemetery in Huntington Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania with other members of her husbands family. I don't know anything else about Eliza

Using Evernote for my planner

In my last post , I mentioned how I am using Evernote as my planner; a few of you have had some questions so here I am. I started using Evernote the week of December 23rd. I was looking for a new planner for 2017 and I was not liking anything that I was finding. I keep lists of all sorts of things in Evernote so it only made sense to try and find a way to use Evernote for my planner. I did a little bit of research and found these templates for 2017. With a little adjusting, I was able to make the weekly template work for me. I first created a folder called Day Planner {I put the folder in my Inbox stack because I spend the most time here}. !Inbox -- default notebook. Anything coming into Evernote goes here to be sorted and dealt with {It is piling up today}. Ideally, this is emptied every day but for me, it is more like a few times a week. !TO DO -- This is the notebook that holds some of those lists. My genealogy to do list, my blog to do list and my brainstorming lis
