About Me

Great-Great Granddaughter of Conrad Adam

I  am a retired school librarian and have been interested in family history and the history of Kendall County, Texas since I was in high school.

For years I have collected bits and pieces of information about my family and Kendall County. In 1979, with the help of Margaret Kutzer Morries, I transcribed the 1870 Census of Kendall County. The Genealogical Society of Kendall County under the direction of Kate Skinner-Klee published the transcribed version. I am a charter member of the Society and was the first editor for their newsletter Keys to the Past.  While reading through land records, I discovered that a portion of my parent’s property had been farmed by the Adam family for over 100 years. In 1984, the Adam Farm was recognized as a Texas Family Heritage Farm.

I have been looking for a way to share information and stories about the family and settlers of Kendall County while I organize and sort though my drawers, boxes, and notebooks. I also wanted to have a place for others to share their stories too. So, I created Conrad’s Stories to connect and reconnect with relatives, descendants of early settlers, and to share information so we will know from “whence we came.”

Enjoy!
