Moment of Strength: share a story where a female ancestor showed courage or strength in a difficult situation.This is a story about my grandma, my mom's mom. After the tornado had destroyed their house, my mom and aunt were under a table, aparently under the pile of rubble. Their dog, Collie, had found them and my grandma lifted up the edge of the house so that the girls could come out. I can only imagine, as a mother, what she was thinking at that moment. I also can't imagine the relief that she felt when my mom and aunt were safe.
This is my thoughts, experiences, and tips I have learned through my research on my own family history as well as my steps and process that I have taken in my research. I hope that my experiences are helpful to my readers and help them continue their own genealogy searches. I hope to provide some insight as well as some humor.
