I have been happily married for over 16 years (2nd marriage) to a special and wonderful man! I have 2 children and 5 grandchildren. My daughter, who teaches German and History, has a daughter and a son—my son’s wife just gave birth to a precious little girl in September. I am a retired Labor & Delivery R.N.—though the retirement wasn’t by choice. Sadly, I developed an allergy to latex rubber, a substance which permeates all aspects of medicine. Given a choice between breathing well and delivering babies, I chose breathing…go figure. But I do miss my profession every single day.
Btw, "Jenoveva" was my German grandmother's nickname for me. I don't know why she chose it, because my real name is Susan. I had given no thought about the name or how it was spelled until I ran across the Polish version of this name on a web site I was looking at. All the memories came flooding back to me then.
I created a group on Eons called German genealogy. About 17% of the population of the US is of German descent. I wanted a site which would cover not only Germany as it is today, but also Austria and Switzerland, as well as Germany of the past (West Prussia, East Prussia, Volhynia, Sudetenland, Alsace-Lorraine, etc.).
I have been involved in genealogy for 13+ years. I am fairly proficient in German, having studied it for 8 years. I have been helped over the years, at no cost to me most of the time, by so many people that I wanted to be able to "pay it forward."
So feel welcome to visit this group and leave your family names and whatever information you have that might help others help you.
