I wish that I remembered more, I need to have him make me a binder. He gave one to all of the brothers, not sure what happened to my Dad's when he passed. I just remember that we have Native Americans in our family tree and somehow it was connected to Matoaka aka Pocahontas. So I was related to the lady who had the first interracial marriage in the United States :)

Another cool thing they did was track down a school that my great great great grandmother taught at hundreds of years ago. It was in a tiny village in Kentucky, about the size of an average shed (literally). But, it was still standing (barely!), and was really cool to see. It's a neat site, I suggest that you give it a try. BUT, to make real progress you must put in a considerable amount of time. Unless, someone in your family has already put together some pieces I the site.

My dad has ALWAYS been into the genealogy Quest.... LOL, one if his favorite quotes is by Mark Twain, it was something like:

It took me a lifetime to search my family tree and then I spent a fortune trying to keep it buried!

In fact, as I recall, that was the only reason my dad ever bought a computer, then after he reached a stopping point in his genealogy research, he said the computer was useless and sold it... cracks me up...LOL (currently he is 80 and this reminded me that I need to give him a call)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
