During the 1970's I began creating a family ancestry album. My intent was to feature each succeeding generation of the four families on Arthur F. and Mona [nee Leeson] Vanek's family tree: [Maternal ~ Muench and Leeson] [Paternal ~ Vanek and Gremaux]

 

Later on, I discovered after a couple of computer upgrades the programs I used to create the pages did not work in the newer computers.

 

Because the task of retyping all that I'd written would be enormous, I've decided to scan each page, save it as a picture, and post them here. I hope that in addition to seeing the portraits and photographs viewers will be able to enlarge the pages on their screen and read the stories. I'm starting with the eldest members and will subsequently add each generation that follows.

It's always good to start a new year reviewing and reminiscing the past. Taking out an old box filled with portraits and snapshots taken years ago prompted me to begin scanning them to post on our various family ancestor websites.

The following are culled from today's efforts.

While my husband, Arthur F. Vanek, was adjusting the Gilbert clock that was Joseph and Emma Vanek's wedding gift, he found a handful of news clippings. Today I removed the wrinkles with a hot iron. I laid them, three to a page, onto letter paper and copied them.
Because of all the family data in those old clippings I decided to scan them and post them here on the Vanek ancestry blogspot, only to discover I can't add .pdf files. So I tried photographing those copies. For better readability, enlarge the copy by pressing Ctrl and the plus sign simutaneously.

Other descendants might find information in them they have been searching for.
