Shared birthdays


Another Genea-Musings challenge since I haven't done one in a while! So this one is to find someone in your genealogy file that has the same birthday as yourself. I use iFamily so I went to Events and then Events Dates to find someone with the same birthday, June 4.

There actually were a number of people. The oldest is John Kidder born in 1707, next is Lammert Kool born in 1877, then Geziena Lubbers born in 1879, Maria Schrotenboer in 1884, Aagje Groenhof in 1888, and Priscilla Houg in 1909. There are more but I don't know much specific information about any of these people. None are direct ancestors. Yep, that's all!

Halloween past

So the other day I was trying to name all the costumes my kids have worn for Halloween. It actually was kind of hard! It was almost easier to remember what they worn when they were really little because I had more say. Now they do what ever they want! The picture is from 2003. This was a big year. I put a lot of time into the cat & bat costumes and we visited my niece at school (in the picture), my cousin with her new baby in the hospital and my work! Long, long day! I think the kids picked what they wanted for costumes but they still kind of matched. So these are some of my favorite costumes despite staying up late to add the boa trim to Claire's :)
