Can imagine how thrilled you must be.
I was fortunate enough to know one of mine quite well. He died when
i was nineteen. He was ten during part of the Civil War. Had many long talks with him. Good memories. Met my dad's twin sister when she was older and i
was in my late thirties. It was like i was looking at myself now. Brother resembles our grandfather more than any of his sons. Interesting to know about one's ancestors, isn't it?......z
