Hilary's Introduction

This is the first entry in a blog that I hope will grow and become a way for "the cousins" to stay in touch over the years. I want to include all cousins on both the "O'Donnell side" and the "Schwarz side" of our family. We can add stories, notes, photos or videos to bring each other up to date on our lives from childhood to today.

I'll upload a few photos of me and my life if I can figure out how to do it. I figure if I've come this far, the rest can't be too difficult!

I realize it has been many years since most of us have seen or perhaps thought about each other. If any of us know the email address of other cousins, send the blog url on to them and encourage them to sign in and post a note or photo.

Here's a list of those of us that I can recall. I know there are more of us than I can recall, so please add anyone I've forgotten, forgive my ommissions and don't take it personally...I was just a kid:)
