Yes, Eileen, the older I get the more I have proven to me that nothing in my life happens by accident or because of my wants and needs. My search for my ancestors has taught me that taking one day at a time and also keeping a positive attitude seem to be rewarded in my searches by my finding things without knowing where to look. I truly believe there is a hand guiding me and I have no idea whose hand it is.

Celeste, What a wonderful story! Thank you for reminding us of the reward that can follow persistence in family history! I sometimes feel that my ancestors want to be found, and that when I do all I can, ‘things happen’, like the woman overhearing your conversation who just happened to be acquainted with the Erickson Collection. It was no coincidence. Eileen Leite Celeste Perry [email protected] -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
