As you can see, I've been on hiatus for quite a while, for reasons I won't bore you with. The thing is, my heart is actually in a different place right at the moment -- since last summer, I have been immersed in the genealogy of my ancestors, a project I've found both exciting and absorbing. I decided that at this point what I would like to do best is start a family genealogy blog; it feels important to me (at my age :) to get the information down somewhere for my relatives to see. I had thought of making a book for everyone, and maybe some day I will do that, but for right now I want to do posts that someday will be gathered up, I hope.
So . . . since I can't maintain two blogs, this one will remain on hiatus until further notice. Rest assured that if/when I open again, there will be balloons and fireworks and a huge giveaway and and and . . .
If you're interested in anyone's family history outside your own (and why would you be?) you can pop in at Living in the Past: The Ortman-Berneburg Blog, where I'll also be talking about the trials and tribulations of getting mired in the sands of time -- it's rewarding, of course, but also extremely frustrating.
If you stop by, let me know what you think! Thanks for all the beautiful communication that went back and forth on this blog --

I was wondering where you disappeared too. Glad your absence is for a very good cause. Good luck with the search!
Well, glad to hear that you are OK...sometimes when people disappear you wonder what has happened. Good luck with your project and hope to see you back again some day!!
It is easy to get hooked on genealogy! Once you start digging is is impossible to stop and the more you dig the more you find. There are a lot of frustrations but it is rewarding too.
I've been researching our two families for over fifteen years and I'm still finding new things. Are you using Ancestry.com?
Yes, I am. One of my frustrations is that both sides of my family very quickly go back to Germany, and researching in Germany is a real challenge! But I am forging on, and gee, maybe I will have to make a trip there to check things out for myself!
Good to hear from you and know that everything is okay! :)
Have fun with your genealogy project!
