The official family blog has begun!

Hello fellow Jurmu/Palosaari family members. I've created this blog for all of us to stay in contact with one another. If you want to be a part of this blog, please bookmark us and submit postings to me at my email: joybells1@msn.com. I will do my darndest to update each Sunday, assuming I have submissions. Please pass this blog site along to any other family members...the more the merrier!

For those of you who don't know me, I am the youngest daughter of Beverly Ann Jurmu Hatton, who was Martha & Thomas Jurmu's daughter. I currently live in Marquette, MI with my husband of 17 years and our 6 children. We love to get to know long lost cousins and other relatives and hope this blog helps us keep track of one another.

So, here goes...
