RESEARCH & AHNENTAFEL

I'm researching multiple lines of the family as road blocks have popped up continuously.  This keeps me busy.  Many of my family divorced and remarried and I enjoy including step-families and branches off of them.  It's interesting to see how many people are connected to one family. (Please don't hesitate to contact me if you're looking for a FUNSTIN relative as I am also hoping to get in touch with disconnected family - and a nephew who was born about 1998/1999.)

Butcher the evening was spent in jollity.  The presents were numerous and beautiful.  The gifts to the pianist and matron of honor were initialed compacts and to the groomsman was a gold tie clip and chain.     In the early part of the evening Mr. and Mrs. Whaley left 'mid showers of confetti and best wishes for a wedding tour to Windsor and the state of Michigan.  The bride wore an ensemble of rust velour crepe with brown accessories and carried an Earotweed aeropack the gift of the groom.     Guests were present from Detroit, St. Thomas, Brownsville, Aylmer, Pt.
