Life From The Roots: Jun 30, 2016

"Hi, I was doing my semi annual google search for my natural grandfather's name, and your April 13 blog post was all about him." (This was about the great cemetery database for the Brookdale Cemetery in Dedham, MA.) She continued, "And a previous one (post) was about my great grandmother Annie Ward Poole." That post was about the three databases for the South Church Cemetery / South Parish in Andover, MA.

So, when I heard from my fourth cousin last week, I was quite surprised, because I had no information about her nor her parents! This is a case where writing a genealogy related blog doesn't always have to be about your immediate family. Often, readers doing their own research often find their way to my blog, one thing leads to another and wow, there we are discussing our shared ancestors. Case in point, are the statements in the first paragraph.

The photos were taken during several months, late winter and late spring. Winter was the best for taking photos because when I returned for additional pictures, the grass was way too high.
