As a keeper of the family history, I was beyond excited when my uncle Don Untiedt, offered to open his vast archive of family records, notes, and pictures. I had the absolute privilege to spend the last 48 hours at his home taking item after item and electronically archiving it for prosperity. While there's more work to be done, I've already captured electronically more than 500 items, which I'm looking very forward to sharing here, in hopes that anyone who is ever interested, can locate it. I will also continue the work I've been doing of loading every item to my Family Tree records, tagging it to the relevant persons. Those records are then loaded to a GEDCOM family tree that anyone can download, and on Ancestry. which of course, is the current primary place people go to look for data such as this.
And so, if you are an Untiedt, Mann, Schwager, or Ahrendt, who wants to view our past, check back often over the next 6 months, as I've got a lot of things to share. But first, I have to finish scanning the contents of this crate that Don graciously loaned to me for 48 hours to continue my archival process in between a business conference that I'm in the city attending.
