A list of updates to my family tree on http://genealogy.ravensbeak.com for July 2026
Genealogy Archives
The home of my genealogy research. It's all about sharing the story and the work. If you're related to Johann Karl Müller, Matthew Kreisle, Carl Louis Diefenbach, George Walter Singleback, or other people in my family tree, this is one place to learn what I know about them.
When Genealogy Research Turns Up More Than You Expected
Genealogy has a way of rewarding persistence. A search through Texas archives uncovered a forgotten family patent, an old medical office photo, and a few surprising stories. Plus, I reflect on thirty-two years of marriage, preserving family memories, and finally watching The Last Ship.
