March 10, 2010: I have been editing Wikipedia for about a year and was reading the Signpost last week, it linked to Jimmy Wales, which linked to his 'current' projects. I wandered about and stumbled upon this place...I'm sure to be hooked in a minimal amount of time. I am my family's historian. Nothing famous happened to us, we're just a bunch of German farmers.

May 4, 2010: Since joining this site I have re-started my research of the Ockenfels name. I am adding any mention of the various spellings from any source I find to this wiki and trying to tie them together. I think Familypedia would be a great place to work on single surname projects. Perhaps once I am 'done' it could be used as an example to other surname groups.

The Ockenfels name has lead me to the town of Norway, Iowa which is only 600 people. I think I may try to trace the genealogies of the town and see what turns up. I now my grandmother was born there and I have a feeling she may have been related to half the town somehow. I would love to see a 'town' genealogy project, but I think I'm going to be the only member for quite some time. Perhaps once I have a framework others will help fill in their ancestors. Lake City might also be an interesting town to chronicle, but it's a bit big for a starting project. Frontenac was a vacation spot for the most part, so it could cause some troubles as far as continued genealogical links go.
