Genealogy Photo a Day is a month-long challenge
coordinated by Genealogy Girl Talks.
I wish I had photos for all the new-to-me cousins who
deserve my gratitude for reaching out to me with questions, corrections, and
updates about our shared ancestors. They have enriched my life and my genealogy
research. I especially appreciate those who enjoy collaborating to solve a
puzzle. If I start naming names, I will leave out someone important, so I’ll
mention only Shirley Ziemer by name because I have a picture of her.

| Wendy and Shirley |
Shirley and I have gotten together a couple times and
have chatted by phone. Most often though we email since she lives in Indiana and does not get to Virginia often. She and I have collaborated
on the family of John Sampson and Clarissa Jollett, her 3X great-grandparents. Clarissa
was sister to my 3X great-grandfather Fielding Jollett.
Look for me on Instagram (@Wendymath27) and Twitter

It is good to have someone who shares a common interest with you about genealogy.

It really is. It is always amazing to see how far that DNA has spread when you meet a 5th cousin.
