17 Georgia O'Keeffe All About Her in 3 Posts. (My 4th Cousin, Once Removed. Both my Parents are Related to Heer!)
In January 2018, I visited an exhibit called, Art, Image and Style, an excellent showing of Georgia O'Keeffe's life, artwork, and clothes. I wrote a blog about this visit, and you'll be able to see the pictures at Georgia O'Keeffe, The Website was a Gem, and Oh Her Clothes. At the time I always try to do some research on the topic prior to posting. Naturally, I checked out the website for the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. One of the things that interested me the most was the Timeline of her life, something genealogists should do, I believe. Both of my parents have the Ten Eyck line, and one has the Wyckoff line, both names mentioned in the first timeline entry for 1887. I felt I needed to share this information for those who might be interested.
