Well, I don't know if we actually made 2,010 relatives by 2011...but we must be close! I am still receiving "I heard from someone who thinks they are related to us..." emails!
We have a tree on myheritage.com. You will need a free account to message me and wait. Yes, wait. You see, I forgot about the myheritage one (despite having the genealogy program's shortcut on my desktop) until one day I clicked on it...THEN I remembered. So I am trying to remember to check it each time I get a "might be related" facebook message.
My New Year's started out calmly. My son was here from northern Minnesota for a visit and we were watching the Burn Notice marathon. The next day, he had some friends from high school over for a visit (2/3 of my "stepsons") that ended up lasting all night. I had to smile to myself even as I woke up at 4 in the morning of the 2nd for a bathroom run to hear giggling from the living room. When the guys aren't here, it sure is quiet!
I am still working in long term care and seeking a hospital posting. Don't get me wrong, I do adore "my" little old ladies and gentleman (yes, we only have one fellow in the home, the other is currently hospitalized), but I know at this stage in my life: I want adventures! Given the age and the health statuses of my residents, the inevitable happens...and I still haven't developed the infamous skin. I have come to view death as not necessarily an enemy to be fought and battled, yett along with the relief that their battle against time/disease is completed, it still bites.
Just after the New Year, on Jan 4th, we managed a small family gathering in Eveleth, MN for Ma and Pops's 50th Anniversary. Their actual wedding date was the 7th, but I had to travel that day to get back for work on the 8th.
My son, bless his heart, is still on the waiting list for X-ray Tech. He was asked to fill out/confirm his choices of clinical sites, so I am prayerful that school will start up again for him soon! I have tried to be a patient and understanding mom and not push too hard about transferring colleges (again...yes, I have offered in the past)...and then I tell myself: He is young. He will find something else just in case. He has smarts. Trust him. Let him grow.
Well, that in a nutshell or two catches you up with this branch of the Nesselroads. Let us know what is new with you! After all, thanks to the World Wide Web, we found each other!
*New Year's HUGS to you all!**

Greetings cousin. I am my family's historian and find your blog most interesting. I am on the Nesselrodt Facebook Group. I'm wondering if we're on the same one. I descend down from Frederick Nesselrodt I.
