When working on one’s family history, it is always a good idea to make your own family history. So off to South Dakota we went. It was quite an adventure, with buffalo, winding roads, bumpy jeep rides and NO CELL PHONE SERVICE. I am starting to put some photos up on my Flickr page. There are only a few now, will put more up later this week.
By the end of this week I will have Charlie Delk’s family updated plus some more photos. Speaking of photos, I put this page together so you can see the condition of some of the photos and the process I go through after I scan them. As always, let me know if I can help out with any thing.

I have been contacted by several family members about posting some of their family photos on this site, and I am all for it. I have set-up an ftp site for people to send me photos, this way they can be hi-res scans and not clog up my email. If you have something that you would like to share, please contact me at photos@familyhistoria.com, and I will get you set up. Also with that, if you have some slides, photos, negatives or something else that needs to be scanned or restored, let me know and we can work something out.
I am also putting up photos from Uncle Thede’s photo album book that he gave to his niece, Mary May Delk. Some are of him, and others are of John and Sara Delk, his brothers and his cousins. I am also ready to pull the trigger on Charles Wesley page and add photos and documents of him and his family, I am just waiting for permission to include his living children.

More letters have been posted. They are for Martha Maitlen, Elmer Delk, F.O. Delk, and more. Will have many more soon.
One of the great things about letters and documents is that they not only shed light about the correspondents lives, but also the community in which they live in. I hope that people looking for information on other families in the Weldon, Iowa area, or Pikesville, Ohio area, find their ancestors and let’s me know. Who knows, maybe my relatives are in their letters.
