I’ve always wanted to know more about my 11th Great Grandfather John CRAM (About 1540 – 28 May 1599). I hope this will cover all CRAM, CRAMME, CRAMBE and VonCRAM. I know there are other cousins out there that I haven’t met or been in contact with. I hope to meet them and hope that we can help each other discover other relatives. Always interested in getting new data on my family. Please contact me if you do have some. Thank you.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Why Do Genealogy?

Hey genealogy buffs - it's Saturday Night - time for more Genealogy Fun!

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:

1) Think about the question: "Why do I pursue genealogy and family history research?"

2) Tell us about it on your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a comment on Facebook.

This question was prompted by a current ongoing discussion on the APG Public mailing List about celebrities and their relationship to royalty of famous historical persons. There are some excellent responses in this mailing list thread.

Here's why I pursue genealogy and family history research:

1) To find out more about my family and find out what place they held in history.

I've always been interested in history and think its important to find out how we fit into it. I like to find that hidden gem of what drove people to move, become missionaries, how the names carried through the years.

Update - Sad News

I'm sorry I haven't been around lately - my dad went into the hospital last Thursday and then came home on Tuesday this week with Hospice. He died in the early hours on Friday.

He was ready and just wanted to get home to be with family.

Believe I 'll off for a little bit longer - will make sure that prize is awarded for the Magic Carpet Ride Contest.

52 Weeks To Better Genealogy - Challenge #1



52 Weeks To Better Genealogy - Challenge #1 Go to your local public library branch

What a great idea. Most of the books here at the local library are how-tos, but it always a good thing to check to see if they have new books. I have checked some of them out in the past as refreshers after I've not done a lot of genealogy for a while.

The reference area has quite a lot of history of the surrounding cities (Los Gatos, Campbell) and the local county (Santa Clara). There are a couple of books on the local city (Saratoga). I've actually used them to help me find some more out for my Graveyard Rabbit site Madronia Cemetery.






I love this library, since I can log on from home and use there online resouces like Heritage Quest. They also have several other databased that can be viewed.

It is definately worth checking out your local library.
