ReplyDeleteSorry if there was an unfinished comment that just disappeared. I said "Good for you, to honor your ancestors in this way.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to do the same, in looking at information on the siblings of many of my early American ancestors. Those in New England have the most info available...and when families had 12 or more children, it takes a lot of time! But then I think, their descendants would probably be as interested in them as I am in their siblings!
