This month's topic:Melanie Gnad presents: "Andy Seiflein's Journey to Johnstown, 1868"
With
a lifelong interest in history and murder mysteries, Melanie Gnad’s undertaking
of genealogical research wasn’t a big surprise. About 10 years ago, her brother, Phil
Seiflein, gave her a box of papers and photographs representing a decade of
interviewing almost every living relative he could track down. Next, her husband, Tom, had inherited a box
of old photographs that needed identification.
Melanie was intrigued and started looking at ways to compile the
information so these family memories weren’t lost. Among her biggest resources were joining SCGS,
participating in their annual Jamboree since 2006, joining the SCGS German Interest
Group and more recently becoming a member of the Immigrant Genealogical
Society. On a recent project for the
German Interest Group, the focus on one relative’s journey brought more clues
about other family mysteries. She is
looking forward to solving more mysteries and sharing the results not only on
paper but by also looking into the many media choices now available so ‘the
kids’ may also enjoy their ancestral history.
