In the comments on yesterday's post, Carrie referred to dark haired, dark skinned Jansons, which made me think of genetics and this picture. I got the dark, curly (fuzzy) Janson hair but I burn with 5 minutes in the sun. All four of my sibs got light colored eyes from them, and Marion thanks her Janson heritage for her long oval head...lol I probably got my brassiness from the Heschs, huh?

Welcome!
Blogging about my dad's side of the family, we realized that mom's was almost neglected. Even tho the Janson family tree's been done back to the 1500's, we know surprizingly little about Jansons in the past 200 years.
This blog is an attempt to flesh-out those minimal facts, and to record what we discover.
The cool part of blogging about family history is that writing it down forces a certain clarity--facts need to be checked, dates need to mesh--and if I make mistakes, they can be changed later.
It's a win-win!
