    Wonderful picture, I had never know either of my grandfathers. I feel I had missed out on a great relationship.

      Thanks Claudia. I know it really is a blessing that my kids get to have a relationship with my parents. My husband's parents passed away but we try and talk about them to keep their memory alive.

Week 6: Surprise

Back in May of 2016, I was surprised to discover another child of my maternal 3rd great grandparents Cesar and Mary Jones. His name was Carolina Hauckins. He was born February 23, 1844 in Onslow County, NC enslaved to a man who's surname was "Hauckins or Hawkins" You can read more about how I discovered Carolina in these posts:
