Blue Room Belch (Transcription by Kathy Reed) During World War II some patrons of Pharo's Cafe, an East End Bar in Cincinnati, created a newspaper for the local servicemen and women serving overseas. The articles in the Blue Room Belch were largely written by Lou Guntzelman with contributions from other bar patrons. The paper was then mailed to more than 60 people serving in the war.

The Last Leaf on This Branch (Laura Cosgrove Lorenzana)
I hope to create a blog that will be unique from the many others that are available, mainly by presenting my genealogy from a different perspective: the last leaf on this branch. I am the last in my family on our branch; sadly not by choice but by Divine Design. I guess I'd like to think that if my own tree won't continue to grow, perhaps I can help someone grow their own; that by helping people to understand their family histories I'll be contributing to human history in my own way.

Digging Down East (Pam Schaffner)
Recollecting the memories, collecting the stories, and researching the heritage of my Down East family, who came to this country and Atlantic Canada from England, Scotland, and Ireland, and settled in Portland, Maine.
