Bio
Well it is a new year, 2024. I sure appreciate everyone's contributions. I have withdrawn from photo requests in Utah.
I am currently living with my Mom in Livermore, California.
My ancestry goals that are listed below are still pretty much the same.
I am still trying to locate the girl child my grandmother, Gladys Marie Franck had before she married my grandfather. The child would have born at the Milford Industrial Home in Milford, Nebraska. I have narrowed the birth time frame 1927-1928. Gladys attended the University of Nebraska - Lincoln in 1928. She was a member of the Catholic Society. Update- I was able to have a DNA search angel help me. We have found a couple of possible matches but so far they do not want to respond to me requests to get in touch.
I am still trying to get my Hill and the Jeffries lines out of the US, but to no avail. DNA testing with Ancestry and LivingDNA has been done, but no close matches that I didn't already know about. GedMatch has not worked either. Actually, as of this year, I have gotten the Jeffries line out of the U.S., but I haven't correctly sourced the information.
I am trying to pare down my family tree on ancestry.com to direct family links and ones that can be proved through my efforts. It is nice to think that I am related to royalty, but I want it to be proven links, not speculation on the work of someone else and their possible errors.
I was able to prove the Gragg line (Dad's side) enough to allow my family to join the American Clan Gregor Society. I finally know what tartan I can use. I have also found an excellent family search link for the Graggs - www.gregg-graggancestry.webs.com which I am hoping will be fruitful.
I hope all have a wonderful 2022.
