The Wedding

October 29th, 2009 Todd No comments

I’m posting this on GLT and RF.

So the Plans are like this: If you’ve gotten your invite coolio.. if you haven’t and you are coming.. please for the love of god call me or email me. 402-580-3672 todd@geekliketodd.com

The wedding will be @ The Del Ray Ball Room which is located here:
817 R Street Lincoln NE 68508
http://www.thedelray.com

There are 2 events:

3pm – Wedding. Please wear clothes you’d wear to a wedding :) (this will last about an hour)

7:30pm – Halloween Party – Just please don’t let your costume be nudest, we’d appreciate. The party could last until midnite and I’m understanding will have cartered hors d’œuvres (yeah I had to look up how to spell it.)

There is no alchohol. There will be music (live and dj)

If you need any info please call my phone.

Bridging the Gaps

October 22nd, 2009 Todd 1 comment

I’ve been working on this Family Tree now for a solid year and some change, recently I’ve been contacting people directly to fill out the gaps of what I’m missing, and I’ve also been using previously unavailable information to gain insight on things it would seem that very few people knew.

I’ve made some discoveries that I never really quite understood. When I was young, I’d say 11 I found the “large bible” that my mom and dad had. In this bible was a family tree.. instantly I was fascinated.  It explained my weird long last name, my great great grandfather had immigrated from Germany.

I didn’t have any other info than what was on the pages of that bible, and when I started with this last year that was the first thing I copied.

Using sites like familysearch.org,  and distantcousin, I was able to build that tree to over 600 people, but I still haven’t been able to accurately find  Joseph Russell Wittenmeier Sr’s parents, or why he came to America.

I’ve not been able to account for the other (albeit small) amount of Wittenmeiers that dot Illinois, or California.

I did find out alot about the life they led.

Goodbye rfForums

I just wiped out the forums, who knows, maybe someday I’ll bring that feature back but I think I’ll wait for them to be actually needed this time.

rfForums shutdown!

October 7th, 2009 Todd No comments

Due to lack of interest in the Forums I’m going to remove them on the last week of October..

Can’t see a reason to keep them around if the only person posting or reading them is me.

Our Registry

October 5th, 2009 Todd No comments

We didn’t really inform people about any registry we made for the wedding.. and we thought it was bad form to include any in invitations..

Anyhoo:

We are registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and Target

We sent out invites a few weeks ago I wish more of you could come, but I kind of expected turnout to be low it being 12 hours from Nashville.  As soon as we can pics will be up, and plenty of pics from our honeymoon in Japan!

OH.. we just got a HOUSE!! I’m not spilling any details about what and how.. but as long as everything works out.. we move in December!!
