This weekend I was invited to join a group on Facebook, and this is the first time I have been excited about something on Facebook. It is a group for all the descendants of Levi and Rhoda Brinkerhoff, who are my great grandparents. Members of the group post on the wall who they are and how they are related to Levi and Rhoda Brinkerhoff. And everyone can post pictures. That is the best part so far. I spent all morning looking at the pictures of my grandpa and his siblings.
Here is my favorite picture that I saw today. It is of grandpa's brothers. If I understand the stories correctly, the one on the right, Dono, was a POW for several years during WWII. Someone may have to confirm this.
First, I think Grandma Brinkerhoff should start a project scanning in all of her family photos and adding them to Facebook. Who is going to help her with that?
Second, I think there should be a group for the Irvine Family. Who should start it?

How cool, Alison, and I second your thought about the Irvine family group. Want me to start it up? Want to admin it with me?
Hmmm. I actually wasn't that excited about the Brinkerhoff group. I didn't look at the pictures though. On first glance I thought, "Why do I need to exchange pleasantries with all these people I don't know." I'm such a pessimist I guess. You're right, is is cool. I'll have to go back and give it another try.
Ana, I think that sounds great!
Alison! That was me that posted that photo - Dono is my dad, on the left, actually. The other brother on the right is Derril. I am so very happy that you like the group - good luck with your Irvine group. I need to blog about this as well - oh, and we'll have to work on Carolyn :).
That is so great. I would love this very same tool for our family tree.
Thanks for sharing!
I sure miss you guys!
