It's completely crazy to me that one word or phrase from a person can send my mind into a research frenzy. It doesn't matter to me if it's a town name,, a surname, a first name, a business name or anything else, if you say it I will hunt it.
Such is the case for the above photo, Found on a town history page after being told that the founder of my relative's town was the person on the left. After further research, he actually was on my tree as well!! This cleared the way to see things completely different than I had before. In a few weeks, I will be travelling to that town. I will walk on the land that he owned, and that several of my other ancestors owned. I will touch the papers that they touched, see their craftsmanship along with the place where they now rest. When the sun shines, it allows for a more clear vision of where things are, and where they had been. I'm enjoying my Adventures in Genealogy! Are you?
