First Post

If you are reading this, you've either nuts or interested.  I've been informed that if I really think we need a family blog, then I'd best get to it.  So it is named for the two people who brought me into this world; dad, Bob Franklin and mom, Chris Crossett.

Can't seem to get a better copy from their wedding day being 1945.  Dad was still on active duty in the Navy.   The world functioned around these activities on their day: 
     * Nazi occupiers forbid food transport to the West (The Netherlands)
     * Russia liberated Auschwitz and Birkenau Concentration Camp (Poland)
     * S. Romberg, H&D Fields musical premiered in NYC
     * Wally van Hall, a Dutch banker and resistance leader was arrested

Sounds like a pretty eventful day!

    Welcome to the world of family history blogging, Beverly! I'm definitely interested--maybe a bit nuts, too.
