News

I couldn't find Mama's sister, Lena. Her information was nowhere listed in the "new.familyresearch.org". I was really sad about that so I asked Hildi, Gitti and then finally Ingrid. Ingrid has some of Mama's papers and Lena's information was in it. I guess Lena's real name is Helene ANNA Drews. Mama's is Margareta ANNA Drews, and her youngest sisters name is Dorothea ANNA Drews. Funny, huh that they all have the same middle name. Anyway, I wrote Lena's son, Ingo, and am hoping to get information from him about when she died. I don't think she ever married but she does have 3 sons. I am so anxious to find her death date so I can be baptized for her and have her work done. She was baptized but then was excommunicated because she had sons but was never married. I wish I knew how to do more in Family History but I'm still learning. It's fun to see my family in a new way. I just pray I can find this information about Lena or she'll be waiting a long time and I don't want her to wait any longer than she has to. This picture is of Mama on the right and Lena on the left. Such cute sisters. What would we do without family?

I love that picture. Fisher is named after his grandpa. All but one of his many brothers had Fisher as their middle name. So much easier I guess.
