Grateful for finding information

Somehow, somewhere I started finding information. I managed to find the names of all my Great grandparents and even names of almost all my GG Grandparents. So....how wonderful is that. Posted a question on German Genealogy that half way answered how my Grandmother's family was from German Nobility. Came across another site that answered many of my Biological fathers linage. I have even seen some pictures of ancestors.
One only wishes for more of course. For now I will be grateful for what I have.

One day I foresee more information online where one can research in all languages. By then, those of us who are pioneers in getting the questions answered that we have access to while we have a chance are simply people who are laying the groundwork for future connections.

So things I am looking forward to are....Sachsen-Anhalt in Germany to digitize their records. I know it will happen. I just hope soon. And wouldn't it be just awesome if there would be translations on all of these records? Now I am dreaming.

 I do wish I were able to come across pictures of who the people are that I have in my tree. I have my generation and pictures of my parents now. Like I said I should be pleased that I got the information I have.

Not sure what people who are looking at biological fathers tree think seeing my name come up, if they even see it. Perhaps there are those who do not believe, but I only know what I know. I can not change my history or my make up of who I am, or who I was produced from.

The first picture I ever saw of my Biological father...officially. I saw other pictures of him that remind me of me. Different photo shots. I call them my awkward photo shots. Seems he had many different looks. This was a very good picture. It is the only one I can borrow though.
A nice picture of my mother after she gave birth to me in 1961. I colorized it using Black Magic. It turned out nice I think.
A picture of my Grandmother, an unknown man and my mother in her younger years.
Did I mention I like pictures?
