The Proof Genealogical Connections Are Closer Than You Think
The sun is out and the weather is cool so I intend to get some fresh air and complete yard work before the next deluge descends.
Think shelter in place lessens your genealogical connections? Think again! This is an awesome article that reminds us we need to sometimes not only think out of the box to discover our heritage, we often don't need to look far at all!
The Washington Post's article - Amid the pandemic, a family learns their neighbors are their long-lost relatives will make you smile, remind you that your family stories are often close but not always 100% accurate and the coincidences that occur while sleuthing can just boggle the mind. My immediate family has gotten used to my striking up conversations with strangers and discovering our families often had a shared past but this story takes it to a new level. Enjoy!
