It's time for me to get back to writing my ancestor stories (AnceStories) again.Miriam Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021845886261585678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-21262282932612630202015-12-08T10:34:27.884-08:002015-12-08T10:34:27.884-08:00Although the story is sad, this is a wonderful pos...Although the story is sad, this is a wonderful post. I love it when a story is shared that might otherwise have been lost, since Maria had no direct descendants. Also, the collaboration is wonderful from Find A Grave, to your genealogy friend to a cousin/fellow researcher and, of course, your own research. Knowing you have crossed over that spot gave me chills, and the way you told the story made it an excellent read.Anna Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06900231457574329121noreply@blogger.com
