A couple months after our Mom died, on 23 December 2003, my brother, Fr. John, and I, started putting together a family reunion, of all of our relatives whose addresses I could find – 65! I thought it would be very good for me to do a short paper, 5 pages,or so, on our genealogy, just Parents, Grandparents, and Great-Grandparents (whose names I didn't even know), including Dad's side of our family (mostly Protestant), and Mom's side (mostly Roman Catholic), to hand-out at the reunion, which never happened. There are 2,818 persons, in our family tree, so far, many that I had never heard of, in numerous branches, I didn't know existed! I've very happily found several, long-lost, living relatives, too! Fr. John, and I, had one small (135 page) paperback printed, in 2010, the second edition of which is 905 pages, so far, that will be on CD. I hope to have it in everyone's hands early in 2013. I was going to wait until I was all through with the book, to add memorials to Find A Grave, but found out that it was easy, and fun, to do, so I'm combining the two projects, neither of which I may ever finish! Also, as a former Passionist seminarian and novice, I was saddened, because no one was putting the Passionists' memorials on Find A Grave, many of whom I knew, and liked very much, so I'm doing it, when I can. Wish me long life! Frank
