52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2023: Week 13 (LIGHT A CANDLE)
The moment I thought about this prompt I couldn't stop thinking about blowing out a candle and making a wish.
Then I pondered -- shouldn't I be focusing on lighting the candle, and not blowing it out?
BUT, I couldn't stop thinking about wishes.
I really do wish I could get past one of our brick walls, but that isn't the wish I am referencing.
We have the name WISH that is a 'brick wall' in our Bramble Bush.
My X2 great grandmother on my mother's paternal line is
Edith May Lake
BIRTH 25 NOV 1886 • Mankato, Minnesota, USA
DEATH 13 MAR 1960 • Oakland, Alameda, California, USA
In the few documents I have found there are a variety of birth years, and details.
Also are conflicting names for her parents.
Records said her father was John Lake or Fred Lake, and her mother Della Wish or Zundal Jackson.
AND now we understand why I began thinking about X2 great grandma Edith -- X3 great grandma's maiden name might have been WISH!
Then again maybe the records aren't for the same person.
Wishing for a visit with X2 great grandma Edith May Lake to help clear up the conflicting information and break down this brick wall!!!
This is why I search -
Cause ...
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
