Groneman name

By -
Sometimes it helps to have friends from all around the world. When I do genealogy searches I search on "Groneman" or, knowing my ancestors changed it when they came from Denmark, search on "Gronemann". I know the origin is from Germany but I have no genealogy that goes back that far. I was talking to one of my German friends today who said that Groneman sounds very German but all he knows is people in Germany named "Grohnemann" Cool...I never knew the name likely had an H in it once upon a time. A new piece of the puzzle to work with and a new spelling to search on. Too bad Christensen is such a common name...that side of me is a lot harder to do any research on.

Oh..and I just have to put this recipe on the blog because he said that if I like Sauerbraten with Spaetzel, I would LOVE this recipe and this recipe.

That's some good information. I want to get back into researching to find out more about our family history.

The trouble with danish family history is that you can't follow last names because every generation had a new last name! Also, there are like only 30 names total so trying to tell the difference between people is very difficult. What a pain!

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
