Elaine has done a lot of work with our family history by researching family records, obituaries, pictures, etc. but has never gotten into Ancestry. com and only sightly into census records. She has worked with a friend, who turns out to be a distant relative who is obviously very proficient in tracing family ancestry. She just sent us notebooks for both Elaine and I that contain significant new information. She has found a common ancestor in the Watts family that connects Elaine with her. She lives in Colorado but gets back to Seward and the area where she was raised. Her Uncle and I were best friends in High School, worked road construction and as farm boys, worked and roomed together one winter in Omaha at the Swift Packing Plant. I spoke with her on the phone today to express our appreciation for her good work. She told of how much she enjoys doing it and asks that we provide her information on our children that she might get them included in her "family tree" since the linkage between our families. We will be pleased to pass this new information along to our family.
