Happy 80th Birthday Arlene Dorothy Schuessler-Klecka ~ In Heaven!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Wow! Today would have been my

Mom's 80th Birthday!

She's been gone twelve years now, and

there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her

and wish she was still here!

Goodbye 2012 ~ Hello 2013!

Goodbye 2012 ~ Hello 2013!

Well, this year just flew! I wasn't able to spend as much time

on my genealogy research as I'd had liked. 

My term for the South Bay Cities Genealogical Society

as the Newsletter Editor has come to an end.

As much as I loved working on it ~

 it was very time consuming.

 I'm now the Publicity Chairperson

and I believe I will be able to accomplish a lot more

this year personally!

2012 was a great year as I was able to connect with

new cousins ~ Lotte Pedersen & Melanie Weller!

Lotte is related through my Grandmother

Alma Pedersen (Petersen) -Schuessler-Spear's Father's side

& Melanie is through my Father's Step-Father's (raised by) side.

Now, I can officially start working on adding all these

new additions to my Family Tree!

Here's to Familia!
