Leaves on the Trudgian Tree

Exploring the lives of one Trudgian family in Galena, Illinois through the eyes of their daughter, Lillian, during the years of 1913 through 1931. Lillian's authentic diary entries explore the family, neighbors, what is happening in Galena, as well as, national events and of course the weather and the crops!

About Me

Name:
Location: Portage, Michigan, United States

Since all three volumes of "Lillian's Diaries: Whispers From Galena's Past" have been transcribed and published, I am currenting working on another book about the Trudgian (Tregian/Trugeon) family. This time it will be a novel based on historical events which involve my ancestors in Cornwall in the 1400-1600's. I have just started organizing my research so it will be a year or two before you will see it in the bookstore! I have just finished leading a Genealogy Class for beginners at my church. At the end of the six session class everyone had discovered some new information about their ancestors but there was, of course, many more questions to be answered. So I started the "Whispers From Our Ancestors" blog to provide a space for us to share our genealogical joys and roadblocks. Http://seekingourpast.blogspot.com is open to everyone doing genealogy - beginners to experts and all those inbetween.

March Almost Comes In Like A Lamb

Friday, March 6, 1925 : We baked and sewed some. Had a letter from Uncle Thomas. Thursday we had ironed and sewed some. It was a nice warm day and Aunt Rachel’s 70th birthday.

Wednesday we washed. It was a nice day. We also baked bread and made applesauce. Tuesday all but Dad went to town in our car. Had a load coming home. Roads are quite rought yet in some places. As the car was ready we all went up to Aunt Annie’s this eve.

Monday was very cold. Sewed in the afternoon. Sunday cold and clear. We were home all day with no company.
