Happy Thanksgiving - Online tree - Sankey clippings

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

I just realized it has been about 10 months since I have posted here. Too many blogs, too little time.

I wanted to share the online tree that our cousin Jamie Toeppner created a few years back. There isn't a lot on the Sankey branch but he does have quite a bit of information on the Mechefske side. His site also has some wonderful photos and history of the area where many of our ancestors settled when they came to Canada. You can find all of this at www.toeppner.ca


I also came across a few clippings this week from The Canadian Lutheran Magazine that had family references.

Jan 19 - Updates

Happy Sunday! Loving this big fluffy snow that has been coming down all day. This stuff is easy to shovel.

I have added some newspaper clippings and a new page of "other" clippings ( same name no connection yet)
I have also started adding military records.

There is a new photo page for the Gruhl Matthews branch and I have added about a dozen pics to it.

Added a photo page for Haase / Monk. Just a few pics on there right now.
