There was more information than I expected. I guess that it was not more information, but different information. My favorite finding was about Carl Arvid Carlquist corispondent letters. I found this interesting on a few points. First I thought that it was so odd that someone would post such a finding on the internet, and second it was different to me because I had not idea that Carl Arvid Carlquist was interested in politics. As I thought about this I realized that although I have always considered my family research “done” I really don’t know much about my ancestors. I called my mom, and found out that one of my ancestors on my mother’s side wrote and invented the Encyclopedia of Chiropractic: The Howard System which is a chiropractic system published in National School of Chiropractic in Chicago, and is still studied today. As I learn more about family research I realize that genelogy is more than entering dates, but about finding people and building relationship. It is exciting.. in it’s own way!
