Well, EXtreme Kazology is still pending, but I did get a lot of documents posted over the last couple of days. If you take a peek in the Kasdorf Genealogy when it opens, about half way down is Kazology Digital Records which will take you to a new page with links to all types of documentation. There are a couple photo albums and are really interesting if you are into pictures of tombstones and grave plots! A related family the Pickerings is represented as well as the Misselhorns. Duane Pickering was sending a lot of photos and other family information, but then the correspondence between he and I sort of dwindled. (Hey Duane, I am still waiting for the pictures from Canada!) He scanned hundreds of photos, created an index of whom is in each photo, when he could identify them, and then put everything on a CD which he sent me. He even provided a couple of updates to the CD later on. His pictures are here, but it may not be all of them, as I said he had hundreds and I do not think I got them all into an album for the web. Then I added the Misselhorn family records. Marge (Ziebell) Misselhorn spent years researching the family and put things into a series of binders which she gave to her children. She was never interested in putting together a “traditional” genealogy with everyone arranged in families, by linage and all that, she just liked to make it more personable with notes, pictures and stories.
The other really neat thing I added was Doug Holt’s “The Kasdorf Kin” newspaper. Doug is one of the three people who really got me started on researching the Kasdorf family way back in 1995 I believe. George Musch and Marge Misselhorn would be the others that assisted and prodded me on sometimes.
Just as a comment, although I believe I have mentioned it before, these are large documents. Each of the Kasdorf Kin PDF’s is about 3 megabytes. If you have broadband that is not a big deal at all, but if you are on dial up (I’m sorry to hear that.) it will take awhile to download the entire PDF, or photo album. Be patient, but if you are sure a link is broken or otherwise not doing what it is supposed to, please let me know so I can fix it up. However on the Digital Kasdorf page there are some links that for sure do not work yet. You should get a “404” error in just a short time if you use those links. I guess I could add “NW” by the ones that do not… maybe next month.
Until Adobe Reader is no longer the defacto standard,
