Meeting with Aunt Lil At our Cousin Edna's Homestead

On the 8th and the 9th of October my sisters and brother are going to Edna Schmidt Anderson's Homestead to meet with our Aunt Lil.  Aunt Lil is rather deaf now, but her mind is as good as ever and we are hoping to find out more about our family history so we can record it on this blog.   So check back later in October.  Hopefully, we will have some more information to share with you from our Aunt Lil.

In the meantime, I am going to post more information my sister Jan has collected in her genealogy quest through the years.
