Many years ago, my grandma gave me an old newspaper article about great uncle John W. APPLEBACH. It was a neat article with a write up about his chair caning business, and his singing at church revivals in the area. It also had a photo of him.
I have spent all week looking for this article. I am sure it is here but where is the question of the week. I have carefully checked all the APPLEBACH/AFFLERBACH paper files. I have been going through the computer files of documents and photos. Nothing.
Today I finally just said enough - I will stumble on it unexpectedly down the road. I wanted to add the photo of him to his memorial on Find A Grave, which is how the search started last week.
What I did discover is a computer file that my hubby spent a lot of time scanning in old photos. Instead of a file name, there is only a date. None of the scanned images have names or titles only the scanning number. I am thrilled for his help and am not complaining. But I am not thrilled to not have noticed this file before or changed all those scan numbers to real names. Sheesh.....another project.
Note to self: follow your own advice. See this post on cleaning and organizing.

So, before I go any further into research I now need to go back to this file and get the scans named and organized by family and person.
