Hi Everyone.
Due to my still being a beginner in blogging, I assumed that I just cut and pasted images and text. Apparently the source they came from had to be active for this to be viewed. As a result, no pictures are visible on the blog pages at this time. However, due to my cleverness in saving the former site url, I was able to contact officelive and download the complete content from the former site onto my home computer! With a little tweaking, everything should be up and running soon. I will keep you all informed. In the meantime, if anyone in my family wishes to obtain a copy of the zipped files, email me and I will send them to you. With the files now on my home computer, I will be able to turn it into a cd-rom as I have planned in the near future.
I love you all very much.
Emily
This is the photographic story of the Wood family. It was created by my Uncle Larry Wood, and Now I'm hoping to do it justice. I dedicate this blog to him, my Oma Elsie, Aunt Audrey, Uncle Lenny, Aunt Jean, and Uncle Walter. You are dearly missed. To the rest of my family, This beautiful work of art shall go on. I hope all will enjoy it. I love you all.

Original family tree website history created by Larry Wood
Website
Information
The creation of this website began in January of 2007.
It started with an idea of taking all of the pictures from my photo albums and
putting them onto a DVD that could be played on any home DVD player attached to
a TV. As I learned how to proceed with this task, and made my first edition DVD,
I thought that it would be worth an attempt to see if I could put my pictures
onto a website for all the family to see. I researched on internet search
engines different websites and found the one that I am presently using. I picked
this one because I expect it to be in existence for a long time since it is
provided by Microsoft.
I first had to scan all of the pictures that I owned,
one by one, into my computer. I then resized, aligned, cropped, image adjusted,
sharpened, adjusted brightness and contrast and saved it to a folder. Then in
each folder I had to make sure that the pictures were in their proper order.
Before I could upload them to my website, I had to relabel ( change the image
number ) for each picture because the website image gallery could only use the
same image number only once. The next step was to upload each picture from the
picture gallery into the category that I built, one by one. The final step was
adding the text to each photo. It sounds complicated and at first it was but as
time passed it became easier
and easier as I found short-cuts to some of the tasks.
Its hard to believe that at this time there are 1800+ photo’s - pictures plus letters, cards and
other interesting things. To me it was worth all the work and time involved. It is like having a slide show that my Mom & Dad ( Jack & Elsie ) would have at the Wood Hill Farm House with all of the relatives in attendance in the 1960’s. I will always remember all the homemade pies and ice-cream during intermission.
I want to thank my sister Karla for crawling through her attic in her search for the family photo’s and her discovery of “ Karla’s Treasure Chest “. It was loaded with family pictures, photo’s, documents, greeting cards, and many more treasures. Most of what was discovered had never been seen by us or any of the Brant Rock Family Clan.

Brant Rock - Wednesday August 8,
2007
Bob, Pat, Kathy and Paul's visit to Aunt
Audrey's House.
Cheryl and I (Larry) spent the day at Brant Rock visiting Aunt
Audrey, Bob, Pat,
Kathy and Paul. Karla & Chloe arrived around lunch
time and Jim & Kelly came later in
the afternoon. Aunt Barbara came by and spent some
time with us too.
It was great to see Aunt Audrey and Aunt Barbara. I
was glad that we were all able
to see each other before Cheryl and I move to
Tennessee in September. Cheryl took
some pictures for all to see. Enjoy
!

Personal Note:
This is one of the most recent sets of pics that I have of my dearly beloved Great Aunt Audrey. She was one of my favorite relatives. I have millions of wonderful memories of spending time with her in her beautiful house on this wonderful beach. I had so many adventures on Brant Rock as a child. I will never ever forget her. I love her and miss her very much.
