Hey they are so beautiful! Love the Christmas one. Is that C one of those transparency thingys? How do you get those things on your page? Seems like glue dots are the only thing that works, but then you can see the dots.

BTW, isn't it amazing how those Germans kept records? 1391!! I can't imagine that! When I was searching for my roots, I knew my Germans came from Hungary. I joined an internet list and BOOM, they gave me my heritage back to 1760 or so. Unbelievable. It took, like, one email. I think we could probably go back to Austria or Southern Germany but I haven't done it yet.

The cards are just in cellophane bags. :D
Thankfully someone has done a lot of research also on my family. I printed off several pages last night. So many people with the same first names, at least there are records of births and deaths and marriages to separate them. I have my great-great grandpa Abraham Kimmel whose first wife died (after many children) went on at the age of 60 to marry my great-great-grandma Fannie Crews who was only 24. They continued to have children (several) one of which was my great-grandmother. What a horrible age difference! His first child was 14 years older than her. My grandmother Hattie had a brother named Abraham who got shot in Elkville, IL when some bank robbers were fleeing the scene. He was sitting on his porch and heard an explosion, went out into the street to see what happened and got shot. That was in 1906.
