Snippets for Aunt Sharon: “Widow or Wife?” Accidentally Married to Two Men at Once!
Image by rawpixel.com. March is Women's History Month! It's time for the spotlight to shine on the ladies in our family trees. I'll be writing all month on women I've researched. I encourage all family history lovers to take the month to seek out the stories of our foremothers! They are often under-documented and yet, they have a lot to teach us.

ReplyDeleteExactly what my friend said when I told her how much sugar was in it! Hope you have a delicious holiday!
DeleteI enjoyed the date bread with our Roots Writers group. It was delicious and would be great addition to a holiday gathering.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandra. I hope you have a lovely holiday with your family!
