OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Great start

The previous post WENT IN THE WRONG BLOG! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

ok.  COPYING AND PASTING -  moving it to THE RIGHT PLACE!

NEW TITLE!?!?

I've decided to take on the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks "Challenge"... and what better place to do it than in my "old" 52 Wednesdays!

Interestingly enough-  I will get a prompt for the week on a Tuesday-  so maybe I won't even change the title... because I will probably create the post on a Wednesday.  I will have to think on this.

So... I've already missed two prompts-  I'm waiting to find out if I can get those and do a quick catch up.

Whether I can- or can't ... I'm looking forward to this little project!

Here's a great place to start- 


These are the Oltmer "kids".  One generation up from "US"   Back Left-  Uncle Billy; Back Right Dad - Charles Oltmer; Front Left - Aunt Florence (Oltmer) Inslee; Center w/ the hat: Aunt Mary Elizabeth (Oltmer) Giordano; and the cutie at the bottom right-  Uncle Chrissy -  Officially Oltman Christian Oltmer.

To put a few things in order:  Uncle Billy had 4 kids: Cathy, Carol, Celeste and Billy Jr.;  There were 3 girls in our family: Pat, Nancy and Mary Beth; Aunt Florence had 4 kids:  Chris, Tom, Marianna and Claudine; Aunt Mary had 4 kids:  Mary Catherine, Frankie, Billy and Charles and Uncle Chrissy had 2 kids Christina and Christian.  Everyone in bold can be found on Facebook!!

Now... all of this is available on our Ancestry account-  but here it is again lol.

WOW.. This is just a beginning-  relationships to post and tales to tell-

I will wait for the official prompt and carry on from here!   FIFTYTWO WEEKS!!  FIFTYTWO WACKY relatives!

These are current pictures from St. Joe's Church in Demarest- a donation from Grandma and Grandpa Oltmer when the church was being built.  The original St. Joe's was where Mom and Dad were married - located at the end of Brookside Ave. in Demarest.  (They lived in Cresskill on Brookside Ave).
