Shlopsky, I mean Millie...hehe😉 That is an amazing story about your great great grandfather. It is also so amazing that your family shared that with you. Without the verbiage, that could have been lost history. Genealogy fascinates me to no end. I did tons of genealogy work about 5 years ago. I was able to get back to the 1200's on my husband's grandmother's side. I didn't even think such a thing was possible! Unfortunately, I got stuck on my grandfather's side due to being Native American. It used to be a "bad" thing to identify to the census folks that your were other than white. I couldn't get very far. I am still and will always be very sad about that. I just wish I could go back in time and speak to those who may have known more...

PS...the Shlopsky story is amazing too! You are a fascinating lady. 😊

Lidewey - these would be excellent examples for you to use in class!! 😊
