Howdy from Texas! I’m at the Federation of Genealogical Societies conference in San Antonio. I hope to see a lot of you here this week!
Before you head out to the wonderful sessions (and food!) in San Antonio, do two things:
- Leave a comment below with the link to the 52 Ancestors post you did this week

Happy reading!

STONE: Bathsheba Stone How(e)
http://ancestorsinaprons.com/2014/08/52-ancestors-were-related-how-bathesheba-stone-howe/
Ancestry.com shows me my relationship to Bathsheba’s husband (one of the line of Howes who ran the Red Horse Tavern/Wayside Inn in Sudbury MA), but I want to know how I’m related to her through the Stone line. Turns out there’s an app for that.
