Week 10! Can you believe it?! We’re in the double-digits!

There were more great posts this week. Among them… I’m waiting for the follow-up to thegenealogygirl’s attempt at contacting her long lost great-grand aunt. Lorine McGinnis Schulze has good reason for calling her ancestor a naughty girl! (And it was for good reason she was called that!) Though Lorine’s ancestor isn’t nearly as naughty as Denise Lemon Knapp’s “Girls Gone Wild, 1800s Style.” The Creola Genealogist tells of a ship lost at sea and “The Day Brava Lost Its Men.”

My entry this week was a quick look at my 3rd-great-grandmother Mary Deffenbaugh Danison of Perry County, Ohio.
