Have been meeting with more family and gathering a wealth of information.
Joined the New Mexico Genealogical Society on Facebook. Uploaded my Aunt Maria's wedding picture and one of the members enhanced it to look just like the original. What a blessing. Hoping more family is on fb to respond to my posts. In the meantime going to the Hispanic Cultural Center to check out their archived records. So much has changed since I first started doing this labor of love. Am also hoping more than a few people(family) take up the torch soon.
I showed the picture of Grandma Deluvina and Uncle Eddie to a friend who has been working and grew up with Native Americans. She said, "She's full blood Apache." Assuming of the Yavapai since that's where she was born. I had always been told Deluvina was half. But in the picture, she looks full blood. That probably explains why her genealogy is very muddled and almost non-existent before her mother, Nieves. Or, Nieves had very strong genes? Maybe. Can hardly wait to send sample for DNA testing.
That reminds me of more Uncle Eddie told me about Grandpa Julian. He was in AZ during the range wars. Explains the stories written about him.
I love that the NM Heritage web page has a quote from Sir Winston Churchill. "A nation that forgets its past has no future." So true.
Checking out digital recorders. Would be easier than all the handwriting. But, will still be making copies of documents. My daughter reminded me to take pictures of pictures with my cell. Doh! Light bulb:)
Joined Remember in Albuquerque When(RIAW). Going into information overload. Had to set kitchen timer to 30 minutes so I can get up, walk and BLINK! 'Puter just dings and dings until I sign off. Love it anyway;)
Sunday had supper with my granddaughter and family. The g-granddaughter is so precious. And, stubborn. It was a very nice visit:)) My neighbor, who's apartment is directly below, heard all the laughing because the balcony doors were opened and came up to see why she wasn't invited to the party. Unfortunately, she opted not to come in right away. But, she did come after they left. Stayed for an hour---nice visit too:)
Robin Hood didn't rob from the rich and give to the poor. He robbed from the government to give back to the tax victim's--Posted on fb:))
Now the Obama Administration is not only targeting Tea Party groups, but every Christian and conservative group across the United States. Have been informed that even Habitat for Humanity is targeted. Our first Amendment Rights will slowly be taken away folks. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The new military budget will cause a decrease of troops to numbers that haven't been this low since WWII. And, cuts benefits to our troops. What s shameful act! Second Amendment:A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
WE are the government.
The Evening News reports that Obama has ordered all our troops will be pulled out of Afghanistan by the end of the year. Thank God. But this is a double edged sword. While the lucky ones are being pulled out, the rest are left without back-up. they will be easily targeted by Al-Qaeda and probably Hamas, or some other terror group. Thereby causing an international incident, AGAIN. Obviously this is merely my opinion. But, the current administration continues to bumble, disseminate faulty information, and cover up. Smoke and mirrors.
I think......our country is being placed in a very dangerous situation. We are systematically being bankrupted and left without military protection to guard our citizens and borders.
Annie get your gun!
Deliberately used the 13 words that will get me on the NSA list of people to monitor. Go for it. I'm not the only one in our great state that feels this way.
Shades of Big Brother, as we said in the 60s.
I still don't have health insurance. Application is probably in the fiery pit of the crashing website!
Lord, protect us.
Have a thought filled day blessed by our Father in heaven.
