This was taken in Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, Canada. My daughter and I went on a bus road trip to see Phantom of the Opera. It was really good. I don't think any other production could replace the original in Toronto.
Today I made the trip into Pittsburgh to go to the main Carnegie Library. They have reels and reels of microfilmed newspapers and I was looking for obits. They are hard to find. Eighty years ago the town had three daily papers and a few others. I even looked in the German language daily paper. Of everything I looked for I came up with two obits. Considering I had seven people I wasn't batting .500. It gets tiring, and there are a lot of others who had the same reels that I wanted....... So, my great grandmother viewing was at her home. Chucks great grandmother had her viewing at a funeral home. I thought it would yield some information but only one fact. Katherine's two sons had died before her. I had found them both in the WWI draft papers and I guess they had both died in their twenties. Chuck had said that Charles was killed in a railroad accident, but I don't know about Joseph. Chucks dad and his uncle were named after his grandfathers two brothers.
This is a long and never ending quest. I still have to order some more records and who knows what will surface?????? The weather this morning was cool and sunny. When I left the library it was cloudy...Now it is cloudy and chilly. To night it is to go down in the low 40s and tomorrow into the high 20s. I think I might even see a flake or two, or so they say.

I don't see how it could ever end - there are always new branches of the tree to follow :-)
