Some or all parts of the "Barbarowa Neighborhood" link will eventually all be migrated over into the WIKI. The photo albums are already there, as is the census list.

During my research of the families that lived here, other interesting tidbits have turned up and I just thought the WIKI would be an ideal place to store them.

If you have any suggestions, I'd like to hear them. Also, if you'd like to add information to the WIKI, you'll have to register. It would be so much better if the WIKI could be freely open to anyone, but the spammers out there revel in the opportunity to splatter their grafiti everywhere, so registration is now, unfortunately, required to edit anything. You can freely browse, though.

The link to the WIKI appears in the main menu over on the left of the Barbarowa Genealogy main page, or you can just click here:

I'm telling you this because there are going to be times where you do a search for a name and the results are going to show two entries. One from one tree and one from another.

And yet, I can't bear the thought of merging all the trees into one. The way they are now, at least I have a clear idea of which group I'm working on when I have new material to enter.]]> http://www.zodiacal.com/barbarowa/trees/blog/index.php?entry=entry060328-065253 2006-03-28T00:00:00Z 2006-03-28T00:00:00Z
My initial trepidation at tackling a new language has turned out to be pointless. PHP isn't that much harder than anything I've used before. It's just got some different ways of doing things. In some ways, it's a LOT easier than other languages I've used. Finding that out was very encouraging. Writing a database project took approximately one week to figure out, so for a newbie I think that ain't bad at all.

The project is almost ready to go live.
[EDITED OUT PREVIOUS REQUEST FOR HELP. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED.]

Maybe your family made them slightly differently, but this was our tradition and you are welcome to try the recipes out. They are set up to print out at a 3x5 format which is perfect for pasting onto your typical recipe card.

He's also given us a picture of a mystery baseball player wearing a St. Barbara's uniform. I didn't even know they had a baseball team! If anyone recognizes him or knows where that photo was taken, please let me know.

I think the location might be in the general vicinity of the ravine that was between W.18th and W.15th north of Denison Ave. The house seen to his left looks like one of the houses on W.18th but I'm not positive until I can get down to the old neighborhood and take a look.

Don't forget! If you have any interesting photos to share, we'd love to get them. Unique items like these should not fall into the back of some box somewhere never to be seen again.

It's beginning to feel like a Brooklyn, Ohio museum around here, and that is GREAT!

Some of the monuments I see are huge! I wonder what the cost was at the time they were placed at the plot? I guess it helps you get a feel for the relative wealth of some families. Riverside Cemetery has a wide variety, but not much in the way of interesting designs. Perhaps the most unique features are on the ones that have the laser engraved photographs of the dearly departed. Woodmere Cemetery (Berea) had a very unique monument shaped exactly like an old log cabin, but about the size of a doghouse. Bohemian National (Chicago) must have had a lot of woodworkers or something. Several monuments were shaped just like a standing tree trunk with bark and all.

Before our modern times, cemeteries were more for social gatherings, I guess. Riverside had a small lake where folks could go out on boats. Some families would go to the cemetery and have a picnic. Does anyone do that anymore?]]> http://www.zodiacal.com/barbarowa/trees/blog/index.php?entry=entry050717-081107 2005-07-17T00:00:00Z 2005-07-17T00:00:00Z
The pedigree (now listed as 'ancestors') tree can now be displayed in several different formats. The 6 generations in Compact form really shows you the most in the smallest amount of space.

I'm still exploring what the new options are, so will report back as I discover them.]]> http://www.zodiacal.com/barbarowa/trees/blog/index.php?entry=entry050516-084323 2005-05-16T00:00:00Z 2005-05-16T00:00:00Z http://www.zodiacal.com/barbarowa/trees/blog/index.php?entry=entry050423-175705 2005-04-24T00:00:00Z 2005-04-24T00:00:00Z
