We CAN Remember!

Posted on 28 February 2017 by Kate Challis

Last month I posted the death certificate of Anton Smihal, which said, “Can Not Remember” when listing the name of his mother. I was very happy to be able to connect the living descendant of this family to their Czechs in the old country a few days later, and of course I started writing a…

I cesta může být cíl

Posted on 14 February 2017 by Kate Challis

September, 1965 Willard, Utah The present trend in our church and in the country seems to be, “Where did I come from” and genealogy is being stressed as a most important part of our church and family activity. This is rather hard on my  generation, as we have only started to have time to look…

RootsTech 2017: DAY FOUR, or some final thoughts

Posted on 12 February 2017 by Kate Challis

Today was another really successful and awesome day at RootsTech 2017. But I have to wake up in 3 hours to catch my plane, so this will have to be extremely short. The Cake Boss guy, Buddy Valastro, spoke in the morning. He was pretty long-winded and arrogant, in my opinion. But the guy sitting…

RootsTech 2017: DAY THREE, or Catholics and Mormons have a LOT in common

Posted on 11 February 2017 by Kate Challis

Today was both the first day that we made it to the keynote speaker (extremely inspiring and emotional! Of course the tears were flowing freely!) and also the first day I had a real, filling, substantial, delicious meal! You cannot get good Mexican food in my corner of Iowa; I miss real Mexican food from…

RootsTech 2017: DAY TWO

Posted on 10 February 2017 by Kate Challis

Today was awesome! We got up late and missed the keynote speaker because…well…I may have stayed up until 2 am talking with my sister in law. She has this magical gift of getting people to open up to her. She is an aesthetician/hair stylist, after all. Not like I am that short on words, anyway…haha…

RootsTech 2017: DAY ONE

Posted on 9 February 2017 by Kate Challis

It’s the end of my first day at RootsTech 2017. I think I’m going to starve. My sisters in law don’t believe in eating; they only believe in grazing. And dinner was at one of those places where they serve you tasty food but not enough of it. I spent the morning with my sister…

Radioactive Carps….aka RootsTech 2017: DAY ZERO

Posted on 8 February 2017 by Kate Challis

Well, Sondra and I are on our way to RootsTech 2017. This is the world’s largest genealogy conference, and it is going to be really interesting and awesome! Part of me sincerely wonders what I can possibly learn from this conference. Putting it like that sounds really snotty; I assure you, I’m painfully aware of my…

Kysucké Nové Mesto, Slovakia records on FamilySearch

Posted on 6 February 2017 by Kate Challis

So far I have looked at two Slovakian records, both on FamilySearch. And both of them were cataloged incorrectly. That is a lousy track record! I’m looking for a birth in 1891 for somebody who lived in Čambalovci, so they probably were baptized in Rudina, Nesluša, Kysucké Nové Mesto, etc. The Kysucké Nové Mesto records say…
