Well, I pretty much have spent the entire weekend searching for family information on ancestry.com. I've made some contacts in the family and have gotten alot of information. Still trying to find info on my Mamaw's dad - George Schenck. Not having much luck there.
I'm planning on driving up to Fancy Gap tomorrow to go to the family Homestead. This would be on my mother's side. That name is Stockner. I'm looking forward to getting some more information.
I hope to get some pictures tomorrow too - at least some pictures of the old home. I haven't been up there in years. It will be interesting to see if it still looks like I remember. The family cemetery is very close by. My cuz Gregg and I spent the night up there with our Aunt Grace one Halloween! OOooooh. It was fun though.
I did get out and go bike riding with my cuz Johnathan today. We rode for about an hour. It was fun. I always feel so much better after I've gotten out and gotten some exercise, it's just getting myself motivated to GET OUT and DO it! LOL
I don't know if you've (whoever you are reading this) ever noticed that the older you get you seem to crave information about past generations. Maybe that's just me. Who knows. I remember as a kid all that stuff was "boring" and now how I wish these family members were still around to tell their stories! So, I'm going to do my best to get as much information as I can and put it on my ancestry.com family tree. You should check it out and start your own family tree. They have a 3 day full access trial period - check it out.

Yawn, ok I'm getting sleepy and probably making my "readers" sleepy as well. :)
Check in later..........
