Just want to put up a test post and make sure everything is working with the website and with crossposting to Live Journal.

Expect pictures from our Sunday activities to be posted sometime tonight.

So I think we are heading to Los Alamitos Joint Forces Base today.  Every year they have a little Expo/Show, that they call Wings, Wheels, and Rotors.  It was really fun last year and was a nice distraction to our tough October last year.

I’m planning to take pictures just like last year.

I was doing some ancestry work today on my family name and I found out that my Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather Niclaes Van Schoonhoven wasn’t even a Schoonhoven to begin with! He was the bastard love child of my Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandmother, Debora Christofeels Davids and a guy that was called by one of these four names; Peg Leg Perrick, Dirck Adrians Van Vliet, Dirrick “Wooten Legg”, or Derrick Von Vliet. But since she was married to Hendrick Claessen Van Schoonhoven and baptized to that name, he became a Schoonhoven! My alleged Schoonhoven Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great (that’s 8 ) Grandfather Hendrick Claessen Van Schoonhoven even mentioned my 7x Great Grandfather in his will as the bastard son!

“So Schall be Give unto the Recerdit [recorded] Basterd Child named Claes whoes modder is called Debora an English Schilling.”

Wow one whole English Schilling, I wonder what that would be worth today?
