Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Their lives are so short, and they give us so much love, so much joy. It is a challenge to keep the worries at bay, to enjoy them as they right in the moment, lest we smirch their presence with fear. This is my mantra when I hold a purring Harvey: I am holding you right now; right now I am holding you.
Suzi, insent.
We just got a school directory today, is how I knew. (Also, their teacher's last name is Bidlingmeyer - possibly even more German! Also I know a Berghausen family. I like to think of you now as Teppy Bidlingmeyer-Berghausen. Von Strauss. Just so you're forewarned.)

This is how I feel about mine, too. I get seized with the fear of the inevitable, and I try to put it aside and live in the moment with them.
Teppy Bidlingmeyer-Berghausen
That reminds me of a donor at an old job whose name was Budenhagen, and we took to using it as a curse. "What in the Budenhagen??" We actually felt better when we learned we were mispronouncing it (according to the actual people): they said budden-hay-gen, we said BOO-den-hah-gen.

That's how it feels. Longest name EVAR.
Dang, Hil, I'm impressed!
All the genealogy talk reminds me: Can anyone recommend a free or very cheap source for making family trees? I've downloaded a few free templates, but none that you can edit in Adobe; they're just for printing out and filling in by hand. I'm looking for something I can do on the computer.
Gar, I just looked through those records again, and I'm a lot more certain now that the immigration record is the correct one -- the last name given for his aunt in NY is the same as his mother's maiden name on his death certificate, and the aunt's immigration records show her coming from the same part of Belarus as him.

Just about any genealogy software will have a bunch of different types of trees you can print out. There are reviews of a bunch of free ones here: [link]
