Have you studied your family history? Have you discovered anything interesting? Anything you wish you hadn't?
Yes. I fell in love with the story behind my great-grandfather. He came to America with his wife and their daughter, Elle Jeanette. He got a job on the railroad in Washington state. He and his family lived in Minnesota. He was gone with his job every three months. He sent his entire check every week to his wife. While he was gone she began seeing a Greek fellow. He got her pregnant but she told her husband that she was newly pregnant. After two years he talked of coming home for good. My great-grandmother didn't want to let the Greek fellow go, so she moved to Miami and told my grandma that her dad left them. Long story short, my grandma never saw him again. It's really sad. They were crazy about each other. She never stopped talking about him. The step-dad abused the children. Finally great-grandma left him and moved to Iowa.
They had no internet, so nowhere to find each other.
After grandma died I found out he died when she was 60. It's such a shame.
Aren't you glad that I told this story?
