Family History/Geneology

Gerald "Jerry" Dahlinger died March 4, 2003 in Wichita, Kansas. He had a 20-year history of heart problems. He survived cancer as well. You can go to the Mem web site and enter "dahlinger" into the name search box to see photos and more information about Jerry's life.

We have been on the receiving end of much hard work. We want to talk to any and all people researching family names.
We have traced our family back in time from the USA to the Volga region (Saratov) in Russia. The current challenge is finding the Dahlinger families that originally left Germany to go to Russia.
The Socolofsky family also spent time in the Volga area and a book prepared by Homer E. Socolofsky titled the Socolofsky Family, a History (Spring 1973) offers much family data as well as an enormous amount of general life-and-times information. The Rev. Dahlinger baptized the Socolofsky family while in Russia.
Kathryn Taylor O'Malley has prepared a book of geneological information that is as complete as I might have ever hoped.
Dick Kraus has also found the Dahlinger family going back to the 1700's and has a family history chart for sale at his web site.

Of course, anyone who is interested in family history should go to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints web site. They have the world's most complete archive (with new info added daily) of geneological information. You can search for specific individuals or by family name. It's a great way to instantly add valuable names and dates to your family history work.

Pizza Hut menu from the mid 1960's. Notice the prices! Jerry was a Pizza Hut franchisee in south Florida. Two sizes only 10-inch and 13-inch, thin crust only. You could go nuts and order a 13-inch Pizza Supreme for a wallet-busting $2.70. The "Pizza Pete" character was abandoned soon after it appeared. Construction firms in Florida had a hard time bidding restaurants when it had "that funny looking roof." When they found that the roof was designed to withstand high winds, it was easier to take.

Jay and Eric - Jay's first fish. "What a whopper!" [see closeup]
This was taken at the Flint Oak Ranch in Fall River, Kansas.
In fairness, Jay later caught a fat, large-mouth Bass.

 


Jerry and Eric Dahlinger fishing on the Gulf of Mexico.
That's Eric snacking on a squid, meant to be fish bait.
An embarassing end came to the cooler of fish we caught -
they ended up sitting for a day WITHOUT ice and became
rather fragrant. We tossed them into a department store
dumpster, cooler and all. Whew!
