What an incredible undertaking!
Alexander Cheek's Genealogical History Chart
This personal project of mine, a four month task, compiles both sides of my family—twenty generations in some cases—and nearly six-hundred years of ancestors and cousins. On paper it measures 36" by 120"....
The author shares several images and explains in detail how the chart is laid out. After reading that, don't you want one of your family? I know I do :-)

Mr. Manning described the battle of Mande St. Etienne on 04 Jan - 05 Jan 1945, where John Deam was killed (04 Jan) and Mr. Manning wounded (05 Jan).
He did not witness the action that was cited for John Deam's Distinguished Service Cross, but he described what he thinks must have happened, based on the situation. He also described his actions that led to his own Distinguished Service Cross citation.
This note to my grandma KUHNS is from an Uncle Bill (Wm. J. HELZEL) but I don't have any brothers for her father Paul HELZEL yet. (I'm not finished entering data from Jere's research, so he may show up there.)
This letter from a Bertha ST. LEONARD to a Mrs. SMITH was in my grandmother Patten's research file. The letter concerns WELLINGTON lineage, but I don't know who Bertha or Mrs. Smith might have been.
