One of my luckiest days was when my father sent me all the inscriptions of births, marriages, and deaths from his grandmother's Bible. It opened many doors for me in my research.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011190131897264422.post-40901442148652111302017-01-02T08:49:22.277-05:002017-01-02T08:49:22.277-05:00So sad, his grief is heart-breaking.
