Welcome!

HI!  HIBBEN HERE -
 
Chances are you have found your way here because we have mutual interests, you have been led here after meeting one or both of us (in person or on-line), or somebody suggested you stop by to check out our site.  Whatever the reason you are reading this, we are happy you took a moment to check us out.

Our associated websites involve family history/genealogy (including our business involving related workshops, presentations, and research) and folklore/folk music (including the Riverside Folk Song Society).  Click on one of the links above to learn more about Uncle Butch or the Riverside Folk Song Society, or click the following link to read more about our Family History business and/or family names under investigation:  http://www.circlemending.org .

Another addition to life is my blog. I comment on various things that are of particular interest to me, my genealogy clients and followers, and my family. Of course there will remarks about family history and music, their connections, and similar topics.  If you are interested, go to http://circlemending.blogspot.com/.

THE DOGS
 
We recently added a page for the dogs. We have 2 - Buddy and Klondike. They are almost as much a part of our family as our children and grandchildren.  Check them out at The Dogs.

Latest Groundhog Day Letter:

Instead of an annual Christmas letter, we started sending out an annual letter for Groundhog Day in the 1980s. This worked so well when I was in the field of academia that we decided to keep it going. Now we are posting our annual letter on the Internet. Our Groundhog Day 2010 Letter is now posted.

IT'S DONE!  I COMPLETED MY DOCTORAL DISSERTATION AND RECEIVED MY PhD IN FOLKLORE IN AUGUST 2008!!
TO READ THE DISSERTATION OR JUST LEARN A BIT ABOUT MY PROJECT, PLEASE GO TO www.circlemending.org/dissertationproject.html

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT PART OF MY LIFE IS OVER ... BUT NOW IT IS ON TO OTHER THINGS, SUCH AS PUTTING IT ALL TO GOOD USE.  I AM NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR MY GENEALOGY-FOCUSED BUSINESS.  ARE YOU INTERESTED IN WHO IS IN YOUR FAMILY TREE?  WHAT ARE YOUR ROOTS?  IF THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE BUT PERHAPS DON'T HAVE THE TIME, LET ME DO IT FOR YOU!  GO TO www.circlemending.org AND CLICK ON THE "YOUR PEOPLE" LINK.

We look forward to hearing from you:

Butch
