I was born in 1981 in East Central Minnesota where I continue to live. I have a bachelors in legal studies, a masters in psychology, and a master of divinity. I will be starting doctoral studies soon. I enjoy a plethora of activities; everything from singing, to shooting guns, to hiking, reading, studying ancient history, studying local history, and gaming (online or otherwise). For me, genealogy research is the pinnacle of "local history." I don't care about "learning about me" as much because I don't believe in generational curses, and I realize genetics does play a role but I do not believe it is a huge role. It does fascinate me, however, to learn how my family got to where we are. And, as mentioned, this is the epitome of local history and I enjoy "solving the mysteries."
I live in a small, rural area in Minnesota near where I was raised. I am mostly German in heritage through my mom's side and my dad's side. The majority of my mothers family is German from both sides. My paternal grandmother's father is descended from some of the first English settlers and her father was entirely German. My paternal grandfather's mother was entirely German, the identity of his father is unknown. I have suspicions that the woman identified as his mother was not his mother. But that is just a suspicion. Interestingly enough my immediate family looks very similar to my dad's immediate family. My grandfather was born in 1893; his first children were born in the early 1920's to his first wife. I know of two and understand he had 3 others besides. He had three more children with my grandmother; my father was the youngest and was 20 years younger than his oldest half-siblings. My dad had children with his first wife who were born in the early 60's. I am the youngest and am approximately 20 years younger than my holder half-siblings. That said, with the huge age gap, my grandfather and grandmother died long before I was born. My dad died while I was still young in high school. My grandmother also had children born to a different father in the 20's (supposedly three of them, one supposedly died of polio as a child, I know of two). I never met any of my grandfather's older children. I only remember meeting one of my grandmother's older children who died in the 80's. I apparently met one of the others but I do not remember him. Following in my paternal grandfather's footsteps, most of my siblings are blue-collar workers. I have a history of construction as well. Now I work in corrections while pursuing other education to potentially prepare for chaplaincy in the prison system but to teach at a small college or university after I retire from this job.

John Lennon had already started a solo career by the time the Beatles dissolved in 1970. In fact, he and new wife Yoko Ono had released three experimental LPs chronicling their lives together, and he had two hit singles under his belt: the anti-war anthem "Give Peace A Chance" and the Beatles-reminiscent "Instant Karma!"
Unsurprisingly, Lennon's post-Beatles solo work would also follow a more offbeat path. He made very few live appearances, and preferred to chase his own artistic muse and focus on political activism. In short, it was the perfect second musical act for the life-long outspoken nonconformist.
Lennon was born in 1940 in bombing-ravaged Liverpool, England. His parents' marriage was rocky and ended in divorce when the future Beatle was very young. In fact, Lennon never developed a relationship with his merchant seaman dad. He was instead raised by his aunt Mimi and uncle George, who provided him with the kind of stable home environment his biological parents could not.
Lennon's mother nevertheless encouraged his nascent musical talent, showing him rudimentary banjo chords and buying him his first guitar when he was a teenager. Thankfully, Lennon showed aptitude on the instrument and had designs on making his band the Quarrymen successful. Since he was a poor student and lasted only a year at art school, music was a good backup plan.
The Quarrymen—which at a future point also featured Paul McCartney and George Harrison—would eventually morph into the Beatles. Lennon's tenure in the Fab Four would’ve been enough to cement his musical legacy. In hindsight, however, it's even more impressive that he made such a clean break from the band that made him so popular.
1970's Plastic Ono Band LP was a direct result of the primal scream therapy he and Ono had with Dr. Arthur Janov. The straightforward, unadorned music was often emotionally piercing: on "Mother," Lennon sounds as if he's in agony recounting being caught in the middle of his parents' traumatic separation; the acoustic-driven "Working Class Hero" is an unsparing condemnation of how workers are treated; and on "God," he sounds weary renouncing everything in his life and belief system but "me, Yoko and me."
The next year's rowdy, inspiring "Power To The People" single and Imagine LP were more political and musically adventurous. (Sometimes both at once: witness the gnarled, psychedelic "I Don't Want To Be A Soldier Mama I Don't Wanna Die" and the touching, piano-based title track.) Imagine was also marked by brutal honesty, between Lennon's admissions of cruel behavior on "Jealous Guy" and alleged digs at Paul McCartney throughout "How Do You Sleep?"
Lennon's next few years were marked by ups and downs. 1972's Sometime In New York City and 1973's Mind Games didn't replicate the success of his first few solo albums. He separated from Ono for over a year and moved to Los Angeles to have a multi-month "lost weekend" marked by partying, heavy drinking and a production credit on pal Harry Nilsson's Pussy Cats (1974). To add insult to injury, Lennon was also trying to fight off being deported, an order that came down from the Nixon administration in 1973 due to his politics.
Still, there were bright spots. Lennon's horn-peppered, soul-influenced single "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" hit Number One in November 1974. The pianist on that song, Elton John, even persuaded Lennon to guest at his Thanksgiving Madison Square Garden show, where the pair performed "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "I Saw Her Standing There." And Lennon and Ono got back together and decided to have a baby.
Save for a few more high-profile appearances—including co-writing and performing on David Bowie's 1975 Number One hit "Fame"—he effectively took off the second half of the '70s to raise their newborn son, Sean Ono Lennon. He only returned to music in 1980, with the Ono collaborative album Double Fantasy.
Lennon never had a chance to experience a career resurgence while alive. On December 8, 1980, three weeks after Double Fantasy's release, the unthinkable happened: Mark David Chapman shot and killed Lennon outside his apartment in New York City.
The entire world stopped to grieve, and musical tributes poured in from all corners for years to come. These even included one from his Beatles bandmates, who all appeared on George Harrison's 1981 single, "All Those Years Ago."
Yet most of all, people found solace in Lennon's music. After his death, Double Fantasy's "(Just Like) Starting Over" hit Number One on the singles charts. Roxy Music covered "Jealous Guy" and made it their own. And Lennon's posthumous 1984 album Milk & Honey, was marked by the great "Nobody Told Me"—whose line about "strange days, indeed" was both bittersweet and comforting.
