My Tangent – Who’d A Thought – 1940 US Census West Milwaukee

Good Day,

Minding my own business, and doing my own research of the Rogers Family, I am amazed at what I just stumbled upon. I am searching, page by page, the 1940 United Census in West Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the Rogers.

After about 100 pages and scrolling through surnames I opened up the next set of pages for the Enumeration District of West Milwaukee No. 40-113 and on Sheet No. 5B, I’m attracted to the surname of a family at 4905 West National Avenue… Liberace. I wonder???

The family is Salvatore and Francis and their two sons Walter and Rudolph, 20 and 9 years of age, respectively. And did I think I had found Mister Showmanship? Damn right!!!

And the above inserted You-Tube video is of Walter (aka Wladziu Valentino) Liberace performing in the 1940s.

Enjoy,

Jim

Part 666g – Groh Smith Genealogy – New Families – A New Groh Descendant Chart

Good Day,

Tonight’s supper was a challenge. I found this picture at With One Cat in the Yard …and of course I had to try and replicate it – Shrimp and Pancetta over Tonnarelli al nero di seppia. Never judge a black pasta by its cover.

And who’d a-think that I had all ingredients, give-or-take, in my pantry and in my garden. Shrimp, pancetta, fresh tomatoes chopped, mushrooms, onion, chili pepper, fresh culantro chopped, salt, pepper, some olive oil, a little bit of chicken broth, and squid ink pasta… Amazingly good.

And as there is a pending increase of my descendants, my work, research, and search for the genealogy and ancestry of new families doubles, quadruples, and will definitely increase exponentially.

Today I would like to present to you my first preliminary Groh Descendant Chart.

Definitely would invite any comments and thoughts. Follow A Genealogy Hunt for status and updates.

Enjoy,

Jim
