I Google names and combinations and dates and cities constantly... more as a time-waster than as research, but I've found interesting things and clues and details about lives that I would never have found in a census or Janice Williamshttp://janicewilliamsaustin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-83342046570004065742011-07-02T11:54:08.598-04:002011-07-02T11:54:08.598-04:00Megan Smolenyak says that there's a lot of ser...Megan Smolenyak says that there's a lot of serendipity in genealogy because our ancestors want to be found. And I think that computers and the internet were inspired inventions for this very purpose.

It's more casual than a studio photo, yet it's nicely framed, in focus and the women look like they are really having a nice time. <br /><br />Fingers crossed that one day I'll find out who the other women were.
