Julie's Genealogy & History Hub

The theme for the 5th Edition Smile For The Camera – A Carnival Of Images is Crowning Glory. Show us those wonderful photographs of hairdos and maybe even a few don’ts. Don’t limit yourself to just hair fashion through the ages, got a great photograph of a hat, helmet, bonnet, or some other interesting headgear?

Because my mom lives in constant fear of forest fires, she has an evacuation plan in place.  Instead of fretting over what to take during a stressful evacuation, she grabs the list and starts packing.  Even though I don’t live in constant threat of forest fires, there are several other disasters that could occur.

The theme for the 55th Edition of the Carnival of Genealogy is Show & Tell.  I’ve been doing some digging into my paternal grandfather, specifically his time overseas during WWII, so I thought it appropriate to “show” some of these WWII artifacts and “tell” a complementary story. his story is by no means complete.  I have much more digging and uprooting to do, but I wanted to share what I have so far. Enjoy! John Francis CAHILL (1922-1984) (opens a PDF)

Here’s my final tally for the Genea-Blogger Group Games!

What I Did I completed a mini-bio of my grandfather! Click here to see it.

Here is a PDF of the bio:  Mini-Bio: Harold L. MILLER (1918-1982)  

What I Did I have been working on a biographical sketch.  Fingers crossed it gets completed before Saturday!

Been pretty busy with some other things the last few days, but I did manage to accomplish some genealogy-related tasks. What I Did I participated in Carnival of Irish Heritage & Culture.  See my post! I wrote a summary about my blog.
