More About My Father's Family

Using new information I received from my cousin, I was able to look up several family trees on ancestry.com.  I now have the names of several more of my ancestors on my father's side.

                             My paternal great-great grandfather:

                             Andrew Brown

                             My paternal great-great-grandmother:

                             Mary Moore Brown

                            My paternal great-grandfather:

                            Edgar A. Brown

                            My paternal great-grandmother

                            Mary, (or Marie) Cunningham Brown

Two Great Homilies From EWTN

Stop Planned Parenthood

Here is an organization that is working to stop Planned Parenthood.   There is a graphic video on the site, showing how PP is targeting KIDS.

Warning: The video is not only graphic, it is sickening.   You may want to grab a basin or a barf-bag before watching.  

Sandy

I haven't blogged much about Sandy and its aftermath.

Debris, debris, and more debris outside. 

(Thank God, the Sanitation Department was FINALLY able to haul it away)

Sand on the SIDEWALK and in our yard.

And today, SNOW!

This is the most severe storm we've EVER had in Brooklyn, the first time we've had so much debris in so many places, AND the first time a hurricane (some people are calling this a superstorm; what other people are calling it I won't repeat!) has been followed by snow.

This wasn't just weather; this wasn't your average storm;  this wasn't even usual  kind of a hurricane.  This was something special. This was historical. 

Years from now, people will be talking about how their great-great-great- grandparents were just little children when Sandy happened.
