Improvements, changes

Lots can happen in a couple of years.  When I first started this blog to get the info out to my Imm family, the history was 'as I knew it to be'.  Things change.. People change.. The frame of our genealogy listings has changed.  More information leads to the changes, Death leads to those changes as well as Births. 
Hopefully, we can keep up with the older generations, but we need the present generation to keep us aprised of new happenings..  Just sayin'
