Sunday, 13-November-2011 - Veghel - My sister-in-law Marlyn asked us to bring a picture of Mom and write a few words about it. These will be used to decorate the house for Mom's 90th birthday on 25-Nov.
I was born in 1949. We lived by a big hickory tree, near a creek on a corner of my grandpa's farm in Amelith, a church community five miles from the edge Bay City, Michigan, USA. I often wondered if this tree was standing when my ancestors Christina Barbara Feinauer and Johann Georg Weiss arrived here from Bavaria one hundred years earlier. See my "Big Hickory Tree" post in this blog.
