Week 12 of the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Challenge. March Madness — it’s not just for basketball anymore!

Juli at Life in the Past Lane shared an awesome photo of her great-grandfather. Dave wondered about his ancestor’s sister who stayed behind in Ireland. Deborah asked if she was related to Albert Einstein — and came up with a couple of interesting answers.

My contribution was about my 4th-great-grandmother Elizabeth Peden Ramsey who was not a hidden woman.
