Welcome to Talking Kin, a blog intended to share genealogical breadcrumbs.
This blog is dedicated to my grandmother, Thelma Irene Brown. She taught me how to talk kin from as far back as I remember. She believed that everyone is related and treated everyone she met like family. Most of her conversations with anyone included kin talk.
My grandmother would have loved to explore all the branches and twigs, and I often feel like she is doing so through me. I hope to share some of what I've gathered and update it periodically. I also hope to talk kin in the comments for the posts others may find interesting.
My grandmother liked to visit the cemeteries around Memorial Day, which she always called Decoration Day. She liked to gather with extended family members, no matter how far flung, to reminisce, share stories, confirm what they knew, and speculate on what they didn't. So, it's fitting that this blog began following Memorial Day 2023.
The posts focus on surnames from Adams to Zug in both my and Cheryl's direct lineages. Due to the scope of this project, that's not counting all my cousins, in-laws, outlaws, and friends who might be kin.
Going back far enough, we can discover together our mutual ancestry. As the sands appear to have mostly descended to the lower globe of my hourglass, my focus has become on those in my direct lineage, although my mind is evermore wont to wander, so I expect there will be points of digression.

Thankfully,
