Irene Miller and Jean Preston Martin

Two weeks ago I attended the funeral of Jean Preston Martin, my aunt and my mother’s sister. During the last stage of Jean’s life one of her passions, along with my mother’s, was to bring the extended family together, to share news and create a genuine appreciation of the family history. Jean also initiated a family newsletter, “FamilyTalk”, hence the title of this blog. If you like, you can consider this in her honor.

The purpose of this blog is to serve as a location for sharing family photos, stories, and news of any sort. This blog is intended to replace what was the Miller Family web page. This will be a lot easier to maintain, make additions, comment on, etc.

So, I hope every one will feel free to contribute and comment.

You will notice on the right hand of the page both “Pages” and “Categories”. In case you are not familiar with blogs, the main section is a running chronicle. So the next entry will appear above, in chronological order.  The Pages and Categories are ways of filing postings. I am filing under Pages, an introductory page on each individual family. Under Categories I am indicating when a post is about one particular family. You can, by clicking on a category, find all of the posts that are referenced under this topic. I hope that makes sense.

If you maintain a personal or professional blog and you would like me to add it to the “Blogroll” please let me know and I will do so.

If you go on an interesting vacation, if you have a new member of your family, or if you would like to add a post yourself, please simply send that to me (larry@millerfamily.org) and I will add it.  If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

Hi Lawrence,

Yes, funerals arn’t all bad…it was so good to reconnect with the Miller clan; and I a lovely note from Cynthia. Thank you all so much for attending.
