Genealogy Update and the Knee
I just got back from visiting a relative that had information all the way back to my great great grandfather of my paternal grandmothers family, who came over on a ship from Germany in the 1800’s (she had a total of 306 relatives in the database). So that is a GREAT start for me, but I still hope to find lineage from my paternal Grandfather as well as the information my mother has collected on her side of the family.
The relative (who I assume is a second or third cousin of mine) also lent me her “Family Tree Maker” program which I will install and also make disk copies and digital copies of to share. She also gave me the export of all the information she’s collected, as well as a disk of pictures that she’s collected. She still has much more to scan, some of which are passenger lists for ships and immigration services and death certificates.
So a good productive gather of information. Hopefully I can utilize these resources to get even more.
My knee hasn’t been doing so well lately, which I think is attributed to the stairs at the new work building. I notice I am more in pain at the end of the work week than the beginning, because in the beginning I’ve had the weekend to rest it.
I’ve ordered an additional joint supplement, and am doing some low-impact exercises for the knee and quadriceps area and will see how that works out for a couple months. Otherwise I might have to look into surgical options.
