I noticed that quite a few Gaunts were in today's list. Maybe January is a good month for Gaunts. This is the third day I've been able to find a photo of at least one of the family members appearing in the day's events.

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.
