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.

Lillian's Diaries Find Another Home

Lillian's Diaries" have found another home in The Book Worm at 110 S. Riverview in Bellevue, IA. The 3 volume series of diaries from 1913-1931 will be right at home in this quaint shops which also houses antiques, folkart, local art as well as new and used books. Hopefully "Lillian" will be housed in the Iowa history section as there is so much in Lillian's diaries about spending time in the Waterloo area visiting Uncle Thomas and Aunt Rachel Trudgian. You can check The Book Worm out at http://www.bellevuebookworm.com/.
