Updating this blog

It has been a very, very long time since I have done any work on my blog. I am looking for information on my great grandmother Augusta Wanda (Kleinstuck) Kosack.  I know she was born in Prussia 7 October 1856.  I have not been able to locate her immigration to the United States.  I know she came her in the 1870's but that is about all. This first photo was most likely her wedding photo.  The lower photo was taken at an unknown date.  She married Frederick William Kosack 25 July 1876 in Washington, DC.

DNA MATCHES

I haven't posted in on my blog for a very long time.  I hope to do it a little more regular soon.

I have done the DNA test and posted my results on GEDmatch.  I have a very long list of people who are"matches" within 4 - 6 generations.  I have been trying to get in touch with a few to see if we can figure out who our common ancestors are.  I have not had any luck so far but will keep trying to get in touch with people who I have a common ancestor about  5 generations back.  I am very glad I have done the DNA test and do hope to meet up with some new cousins soon.
