Petoskey

In the middle of August we took a quick 3 day, 2 night trip up to Petoskey to work some more on the family tree. We spent 2 days going through cemeteries looking for relatives and then the third day we went to the family history center up there. After spending several hours going through microfiche, we were more confused than we were when we started. It seems that no one knew there own last name or their wivess maiden names. Kuberski, Kuberskey, Kubersky, Koboski, Kobsokie...and that's that's just some of the variations of the same last name. It's a mess let me tell 'ya but we are getting there.

A few pictures:

This one was taken at Greenwood where we were trying to find one of the female relatives. We had a list that told us where she should of been but we never did locate her. Thinking it must be unmarked. John is consulting our binder in this pic.

We did a tiny bit of sightseeing at the end of day 2 when we went to a lakeside park. We met a very nice older couple from Ohio that we talked to for awhile. The gentelman very nicely agreed to take our picture, however apparently didn't understand the zoom concept. This is the first heavily cropped version of the picture:

Thankfully, we had my good camera so I was able to crop it enough that you can actually see our faces. :-)
