Adele, how amazing can it be that we would both have ties to the same 2 family lines (Melendy & Anderson)? Your Melendy side is thru William, the son of the first William Melendy shown in the Melendy Family book and mine is thru William's brother John.
Regarding the Anderson side, I was pleasantly surprised when Diane Resnick sent me an email and told me about our being cousins. Her great grandmother Martha Cristopherson being the sister of my great grandmother Carrie. She did tell me about how they both married an Andrew Anderson. And now I find that I have you as my new cousin thru your great grandmother, Anne, another sister of my great grandmother. It is interesting that you were born and raised in Doyon, ND because that is the only information I had for my grandfather George Anderson Sr. as it being his birth place.
I am going to be retiring in June and will be devoting much more time to getting this all entered into my Family Tree Maker database. My regular email address is janan2(a)aol.com. I am hoping to get more information from you that I might not have rec'd from Diane. And vice versa, any information you need, I will try to provide.
Jan Anderson

Hi Jan,
What an amazing world this is! Here I am researching my Rice family, which has links to the Melendy Family. I have previously gotten Melendy information from either you or Nancy.
Somehow I got another thread and Anderson/Christopherson names caught my eye as my G Grandfather was Ole Anderson, brother of Andrew Anderson. there was also another Andrew Anderson and he married Carrie. My G Grandmother was Anne Christofferson, sister of Carrie Chritofferson, and Martha Christofferson(married to the other Andrew Anderson).
I was born and raised in Doyon, ND and have the most of the story many generations back. Diane Resvick and I have, and continue to piece together information on this family. She lives in Wisconsin. Have you ever contacted her? Has anyone else given you the information you need?
