When I was searching blogs for the "Ancestor Approved" Award, I wanted to give it to you -- but someone else had beat me to it. I'm going to read every post. You seem to have struck a nerve since you already have 45 followers on a relatively new blog. Congratulations.<br />KathyKathy Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09417754385375586302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853410677893201016.post-11698650570350296942011-01-05T08:54:50.111-06:002011-01-05T08:54:50.111-06:00Bremenhaven -- or Port of Bremen-- was the port fr...Bremenhaven -- or Port of Bremen-- was the port from which thousands made their way to America.

But, that was surely the "Bremen IV", the fast, two-stacker ex-1928, depicted also in your story. Nice job, Linda!

I'm finding your posts and site entertaining and instructive as I work on the story of my own career Air Force family. Looking forward to talking with you at a future meeting. Congrats on such a professional and creative blog, and also on your Persimmontree story. Cheers!

They could never have imagined that their words, written so long ago, would be available to the whole world with the click of a mouse (only a "squeak" of such would be imagined in their time.) They did live to see a man land on the moon--perhaps a greater leap of technology from their late 19th century lives than even we have seen in our lives. But all is moving exponentially fast! What will the world be like 100 years hence?Linda Gartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740477693031139484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853410677893201016.post-8906103014386061922010-12-31T10:09:59.549-06:002010-12-31T10:09:59.549-06:00Linda...
