DERELICT

  It's been four months since my last entry into my Blog and I could say I was remiss because of being to busy.





But the truth of the mater is I haven't spent time in writing as much as thinking and reading. I've been





researching and thinking about my next story-biography; THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A BERTSCH. One of my





ancestors, that as a young man of twenty five, migrated from South Russia [Ukraine] with his wife and three





children, along with his wife's brother and two sisters with their families. Born in 1848, with a





Grandfather that migrated from Germany in 1815 to South Russia, the whys of migration takes a lot of





research. One of the factors that I had not thought of was, young people were encouraged to go out and





better themselves. With ten to twenty children per family,that probably was good thinking!
