Yay weekend chat!  The chattiest part of the weekend! Hi everybody!  It's hot here in Dallas - there will be some indoor research time in this weekend for sure!
Are they ever going to make a new tv show about Dallas... or is that all played out :)
David, sounds like you are in Florida!

Hi, Hello everyone welcome to the chat. It not hot here today after the rain we got yesterday. This has been a weekend. After I got home last Sunday from my brother's. My dad starting Monday started coughing real bad that morning and when he got home from kidney dialysis my mom called and made an appointment with their regular doctor. But he got to getting worse on Tuesday that she called them and change the appointment till that Tuesday afternoon. I told them guessing but I told them it sound like pneumonia and they might admit him to the hospital that day. Well the doctor wheeled him down to x-rays and said it was pneumonia and admitted him that day and he didn't get home until 4:00 today. So this week has been something else. I also found out that one of my cousins that is close to my parents age was admitted to the hospital in pretty bad shape also in Alabama Tuesday also. So I have had my hands full this week.image

I've been working on the profile for my great great grandfather, Nicholas Klein, as part of this month's Biography Builders challenge.  Last weekend I visited the local genealogical society for the county in Pennsylvania where he died and confirmed with several records that a fire totally destroyed the administration building and all records at the asylum a few years after he died there.  No need to continue to search for records that I am now certain do not exist, so I added this new-found information to the research notes.

Hi Star, sounds like you have been busy working on your great great grandfather's profile. Have had the same problems with finding some older records for my wife's family since one of the old court houses also burnt down before the records could be converted. Have a great day!
