Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.

This is beautiful. What a wonderful tribute. And the bottom right picture could be you in Victorian costume!
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's interesting -- you think I resemble the woman in the bottom right that much? More so than the others?
DeleteYes, I do...it's in the eyes. Some of those photos I can't make out as well, which might be part of it.
DeleteI never would have thought I resembled her that much. That's my great-great-grandmother Esther Leah, who died in 1908 in Kishinev.
DeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteThank you, I think?
