52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2023: Week 7 (OUTCAST)
We have just returned from Ontario where we attended a funeral for my husband's grandfather & a graveside memorial to inter his father's ashes.
His Grandfather died January 29th at the age of 96. His father died February 6th 2021 at the age of 74. His dad's death occurred in Mexico hence the delay in interment.
It was a very emotional 3 nights & 4 days with extended family.
Shared grief is an amazing thing.
The attachment & bonding that occurred this week left me reluctant to focus on anything to do with distance, estrangement, or outcasts.
Instead I decided to use the letters as my guide to feature family names I may not have written about previously using the letters O U T C A S T
Looking at out Bramble Bush I was intrigued to find a grandmother for each of the letters except U, and then I discovered UNKNOWN.
I now had a grandmother via the same family line for each letter.
It's often easy to overlook the maiden name for the females in our trees when focusing on direct lines.
I was surprised to realize how many grandmother's belong to one family line - specifically the Bayes/Merrill line is this week's focus.
I decided it's time to focus on my grandmothers & their family names.
