AS I WAS
My grandfather, Alfred William Moehlmann, Sr. (1894-1974), wrote a memoir of his life in 1961. It was handwritten on lined paper. I originally transcribed it in the early 1990's. I decided it was time to do some research and add some commentary, pictures, and history to his story. So I am posting what I have found on this blog. Below are the posts about Alfred's life.

My interest in genealogy began when I was only 10 years old. I was lucky that there were family members who had done research and shared it with the cousins. Then my parents, after they retired, also sought out relatives and handed down piles of paper. I was the one that put all the names and dates into a genealogy program - back in the old days when floppy discs were still popular. Now I'm retired and attempting to add the stories to all the dates.
