[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 411873, member: 1233"] For those who like the geneology stuff, or are interested, there is a show on one of the networks called 'Who Do You Think You Are' that searches the history of a celebrity and they find out about their family. It is now in the second season. In the first one Lisa Kudrow travelled to I think the Ukraine to meet a cousin who helped a relative get to the US during WW2 and Sarah Jessica Parker learned that one of her ancestors was tried as a witch in Salem. I haven't seen this season - haven't had time - but I know they just had Lionel Ritchie. It is on hulu.com and also on the network as a full episode (not sure if it is ABC, CBS, or NBC, sorry). I don't like my voice on tape either, Lisa. You may remember that my voice is so bad that Wiz cried when I sang to him - this started at birth, not as a difficult child thing to upset me. I still record some things because my kids have asked. This way if something happens they will still be able to hear my voice and so will their kids and grandkids. I had the coolest thing happen in college. I took a photography class and another student who used the lab when I did had the same last name. I was in school in TX and my family is from OH/IN area, NOT TX. This other student was from TX. For some reason we were talking about old family stories and she told one that she heard from her great grandparents. It was the EXACT story that I heard from MY greatgma. About the same town, she had some of the same not typical memories, etc.... We looked at some old records that our relatives had and figured out that we were related. NOT on the side that had the same name. The story came from my great gma's side of the family, NOT her husband's. Same for this other girl. In different cities, in different generations, the same 2 families married. It was the strangest thing, but we checked the family data, the old family bible on our side, and it was true. Proved to me that truth is stranger than fiction! Don't forget to include some recipes in your handwriting if you are doing a recipe collection. Having them typed just doesn't mean as much or bring back as many memories years down the road. I put my copy of the recipes and copies for my bro and parents into those sheet protectors. I still have the cards and the master copy, but the sheet protectors really help keep them clean and kid-proof. [/QUOTE]
