Delk Family History (and more!)

Mary (Delk) Beanblossom photo is updated. I hope I am correct in saying this, but I believe we have at least one photo of all of Ethelred’s children. I need to check that. Letters are also updated.

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.

Updated Sarah Delk, she received a letter from her niece, Sarah Althea Delk, Daughter of Joseph Oen. In general, the letter details Joseph’s death and the move to Pittsburgh, Ohio. This letter is also posted with Joseph Oen. Nancy Byers biography has also been updated.

Just updated Ethelred Delk’s biography. He is the starting point for the Delk family tree. If anyone can add to this biography, please let me know.

After nine years of my same old, mundane, generic family genealogy site, I have decided to revise and update it. As I was doing this I realized that I really never updated my site. I just sort of put it together and then walked away from it. And it showed. But this time it will be different. My dad and I are working together to tell the story of the Delk Family and those who were and are a part of it. He will be doing the writing while I will be doing the multimedia. Everyone’s input is welcomed. And please leave some tidbits about your own research into your Family History.  Personally, I think I had information overload. With everything that was available and becoming available on the web, I found myself overwhelmed and not knowing where to begin. Genealogy is not for the easily intimidated.

Right now, not everything is up and working correctly. I also only have one family showing. My goal is to have both of my parents and my wife’s side as well. I look forward to sharing everything with everybody and hopefully will be able to have good discussions with anyone else who is diving into the world of genealogy.

Happy New Year,

Brian
