The Wrong Fred

An update to the Mursch Family Events page.  Some new obits and wedding announcements also some material on another Mursch family, also in Utica, that I followed by mistake.  There were two Fred Murschs, both born in Germany only a few years apart, and I followed the wrong one.  Added quite a bit to my tree but it all had to be pruned when I realized my mistake and found the correct Frederick Mursch.   There were several entries that seemed contradictory but I forged ahead thing they would be resolved  with a little more information.

The extra research wasn't wasted as I've posted it in the Mursch Family Events page under "The Wrong Fred".  He will be the Right Fred for someone and I hope they find him.

Very cold from Thanksgiving Day, with a dusting of snow today.  Winter is upon us.

Sons of the American Revolution

Some small updates to the Engle, Zick and Bielby pages in the "Family Events" section of my homepage.

Just received notification that I was approved for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution. It's the DAR for men without the status or clout. It means I can now shop in their online store. My descent is through my mother's , Calkins, side to Joseph Calkins, 1737-1809. He's buried in Tinmouth, Vt but no one seems to know which cemetery.

Very dry winter in northern Jefferson county, so far. Not much snow or cold. I've only had to move snow once.
