I am so glad that it is the weekend. I have been sick with a cold for two weeks but this week I have really been sick. Sleeping a lot and just feeling bad. Today is somewhat better but so glad it is the weekend and can rest all weekend. I know they say this is a bad year for the flu so glad we got the flu shot. Hope everyone is doing okay and avoiding this flue and cold that is going around.
I haven't been feeling like doing anything at all so this is the first day I have felt like posting. Hoping to get back in the swing next week. Until then Stay Warm, drink lots of Orange Juice and stay well.

New Year, What I hope to Learn in 2014
Sorry I haven't been around much. Had some health problems and did not get to do to much genealogy or blogging. I hope to do better this year about posting and researching.
As 2014 starts I was thinking about all I still need to find out in my family history and though I have learned a lot more than I knew before there is still so much more to learn. This year I hope to break through and be able to verify more on my JESTER family as well as the FORBES, LIVINGSTON, SNODGRASS, and WILDER trees. I am going to start concentrating on these brick walls and try to start taking them down brick by brick. I decided to start with the JESTER family first in this endeavor. I hope to share what I find with you here. Here is where I am going to begin the JESTER family wall.
This is where the wall begins with Charles A Jester. I have no confirmed information on his parents. I do know he has one brother that lived in Kansas City, MO and died there and is buried in the same cemetery as Charles and Hattie Jester. His name was William B Jester. So to start taking down the wall I am going to go back to what I know and re look at everything from census, birth and death, marriage, newspapers, cemeteries and court records, maybe something will jump out at me or maybe I missed something. I am also going to talk to relatives again and see if they remember anything.
SO HERE I GO SLEUTHING IN THE JESTER FAMILY TREE. I will let you know how it is going and if there are any distant JESTER relatives that can help please leave me a comment.
