      Hi Kathleen! I am here in Utah at The Family Search Center and was looking up my ancestors via Ancestry.com. It did not provide as thorough results as did your blog. H.A. Klock is my great-great-grandfather.

    Sara, how nice to hear from you. Thank you for your compliments. I have several valuable resources which I use in conjunction. You are actually the second person to contact me in regards to Dr. Klock AFTER I mailed him out to a descendant. You are welcome to copy any image or information from my blog for use in your own projects.
