The recent death of my aunt, Rosaline (Blaney) McKenzie, at age 92, made me acutely aware of the need to record some of the family stories that I recall hearing over the years. Rosaline was my mother’s older sister and the last surviving sibling (of five) in her family. I remember some of the stories that my mother and my aunt told over the years. But now that their generation is gone, who knows how many stories and memories have been lost forever?

The Blaney Blog will be my effort to record some of these stories that survive in my own memory and in the memories of my siblings, cousins and other relatives.
