Family History - A Little About Our Ancestry

I received a phone call from a nephew asking who some of these people are who are mentioned in the blog. Judy is working on the story of Elsie and Dewey Riddle and their role in Dad's life. She will get that posted as soon as she can post on the blog again( this is called selective blogging!). Following is a very poorly formatted list of our Blood and Krajicek ancestors that may be helpful to later generations (corrections are welcome - gently!). There are no dates included because of space but they are available for the asking. There is much research to be done and many hands make light work, so please join in our fun project. Elizabeth, Judy and I are trying to carry on with what Mother and Dad had worked so hard on during their life time. Mother was always researching and Dad became a "convert" in later years. Dwight is hoping we will keep him up to date on how we are doing, Louise is cheering us on and Steve has real potential to become a researcher - We invite anyone/everyone to jump in. One of the many places we are stuck is Iowa James Preston Hawkins and Barbara H. Davis, so go to work. If anyone wants to contact us by email, please contact me at tannerpaka@yahoo.com.

Thank you for such a concise, clear listing, It helped me to see the whole picture better. I appreciate all yours, Elizabeth's and Judy's work. It does make me feel some pangs of guilt, some intentions are hiding in there somewhaer. I'd best get to it.
