This Blog focuses on Ancestor Stories, both the stories themselves about my family’s ancestors and discussions of where they come from and how to prepare and share them. These stories may be non-fiction or fiction – we will always tell which is which, of course. Also see my KINNICK blog and The HOMEPLACE Series Blog, left sidebar, scroll down.

Wordless (Nearly) Wednesday - a 3rd GGMother
Wordless (Nearly) Wednesday
A 3rd GGMother
Beatrix (Elsie) Fad, born 1805, Alcase-Lorraine, France/Germany
Mother of my father's paternal grandfather, Michael Smith
I have to thank you! I have been tracing my roots and I had no clue about my grandfather Lee Arnold Smith's family, until I came across your family tree history. Amazing! It is so good to know where I came from. Thank you so much for sharing! Laurel Brunken
Thank you, Laurel. It is a comment like yours that keeps me going! My youngest daughter is going to Europe this fall, and one of her projects is finding out more about our Michael Smith - son of Beatrix, above. In fact, she called me from her home in Austin, just last night, and asked some questions, including about Beatrix! Please send me a note, if you will, at billsmith2003@gmail.com so I can keep in touch with you as we find more information. OK? Thanks! ;-)
