An Introduction

Just to get things going, here's the family of Samuel (Bud) Diamond (Abram L's son, Alter's grandson). It's a shot from 2004, so the kids are bigger and there's more (or less) gray hair on the other folks, but it's the last good photo we have of the whole crew).

From left: Aaron J. Block, Eli B. Block, dad Jonathan Block, Deborah Diamond (married to JB, there's a lot of that name keeping thing here, don't get confused), Audrey A. Kraus (with Benjamin brewing) Harry N. Diamond, dad David Diamond, Hannah R. Diamond, grandparents Bud Diamond and Miriam Diamond, Kidist Rose I. Diamond, Sandy Itkoff, Leo I. Diamond and me, Jonathan Diamond.

Explanations, connections, locations and updated photos are in order, and will be forthcoming. Clicking on the image should enlage it.

Bye!

Diamond Family Blog

Since the descendants of Shmuel (Alter) Diamond around the US have started to reconnect after many generations, I thought it would be nice if we had a central place to communicate. The Web site is still a consideration, but this is a quick and easy way to get started.

At the outset, the account will use my Gmail account as a sign in, which means I'd like to have the family use the comments sections to communicate until I come up with a universal account sign in. May be that I ask you to send me any images for posting in the early days, but I hope to arrange this so that we can all post in short order.

Blog away...
