Day seventeen...


We are each other's business: we are each other's magnitude and bond. ~Gwendolyn Brooks

So Jessie had to work from home last night and I was unable to access to computer to post.  But I did get my pictures done and on the computer.  This is my great-great-grandfather Valentine Stephan and his wife Jane Easterfeling(Isfording).  Last October I got very into doing family history and was finally able to identify who these folks were.  I was very excited.  I also connected with a distant family member who had a ton of information about this line.  With all of it, I made my mother a keepsake book of The Stephan line.  It was one of the coolest things I have ever made and she has really enjoyed it.  Now that I am done with that project, I am trying to get back into doing more family research and finding more names and connections in the family.

  1. Fabulous! I need to get my butt in gear, I feel like my family is just waiting for me some days. When you come from a 1st generation of members there is a lot of work to be done!
