Nancy,
I am having so much fun in retirement. Reaching out to family regarding my updating the family tree has been a lot of fun.
The last time I worked on this was in 2008. Back then, Kari was the only one with whom I had contact. She asked for access to what was called “My Cousins” on Ancestry.com.
In addition to you and Beth, I have had contacts with Janet Welch and Mark Elcik. I believe Janet is going to reach out to Kari, and Beth is reaching out to Cheryl.
All my contacts began with Facebook, which, despite my familiarity with computers, is a program I had never used. I fancy myself a researcher, and I looked hard for your account. Jack finally told me that you don’t have one. It was a relief. That and not Beth would have driven me crazy.
Because I have your email, I will send you an invitation to join Ancestry as a guest. You will have permission to see everything, including information on living people. I don’t have an active subscription because I’m making updates on my personal computer using Family Tree Maker 2019.
I will send you a couple of follow-up emails. I need to assemble the information.
I am delighted that you are joining Beth and me in these discussions. I know we all have questions to answer, and this is an opportunity not to miss.
To bring you up to date on the Florida clan.
All is well. Pam and I are both retired. We just adopted a new puppy: Lucy Belle. J.P. is getting married this year and has bought a house with his fiancé Ana. We are enjoying that they both are teachers with lots of time off. ? J.P. teaches science and math, and Ana is a kindergarten teacher. Michelle works as a Pharmacy Tech for Walgreens. We are seeing her a lot while she makes renovations to a condo. She bought it together with her brother. We all live close to each other in Florida, so life is good.
Your cousin,
John, IV
