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).
