Pedigree collapse is most often discovered several generations back, but...
Aw, just having a little Saturday Night Genealogy Fun with fellow geneabloggers Randy, Sheri, Thomas, Diana, Tina, Robert, Taneya, Bill, Ken, Carol, Pam, and many more, thanks to the Trading Card generator at Big Huge Labs!
Before My Time is about the ancestry and extended family of my four grandparents: John Samuel Krentz (Indiana/North Dakota), Margreta Tjode Hedwig (Gertie) Buss (North Dakota), Rosmer Pettis Kerr (Pennsylvania/Michigan), and Evelyn Elvina Hauer (Michigan). Archives, Labels (tags), and other links appear at the bottom of the page.

I love your trading card, TK!
Great card, T.K.!
Every card deck needs a few jokers!

Thanks, kids! I was inspired by Thomas and Sheri!
Love it. Wish I had such a great imagination.
Okay, this is just frightening on SO many levels!
Truth to tell, Pam, it wasn't so much imagination as it was a look in the mirror one day...
Dear (unwilling) DNA Recipient,
I feel your pain! Love, Mom
P.S. I have no idea how I missed approving your eloquent comment at the time it was written. Ten thousand apologies!
