Ahnentafel Roulette


Another Saturday night challenge from the Genea-Musings blog. First, I took my fathers current age (66) divided by 4 and round up to the nearest whole number (17). Now I have to write three things about the person who matches that ahnentafel number in my family tree.

Edith Nelson (my husband's Great-Grandmother)
Edith was born 23 Jan 1891 in Elk Rapids, Michigan, married 08 Oct 1914 to Philmore Hutchison Green, and died 29 May 1958 in Petoskey, Michigan.

1) Edith & Philmore had 6 children
2) Her parents were John Nelson & Bertha Anderson
3) Edith died of acute peritonites in the Little Traverse Hospital

Sorry those are so run of the mill but I really don't have a lot of information on Edith. I only have this one picture of Edith & Philmore but I am not sure when it was taken.

Genealogy Update


I have a bunch of files in a folder on my desktop that I need to sort through and add to Bento/iFamily. There is a mix of things from both sides of the family. I know there are census records and some military and a couple immigration records. I know in the long run this will be great but it really is time consuming to organize!
