Dear Ones,
I had to take time to write you all and let you know my little message
from God. Or
at least that is how I perceive it.
As some of you know I missed a family reunion , (my dad's mother's side;
Elizabeth was her name) which culminated due to 25 blind letters , and to a
great deal of help from a new cousin who responded to my plea on a geneology
forum. In a years time, hundreds people had discovered or re-discovered each
other. I was not a very happy camper as the day for all to meet face to
face, was today , and I was 10 hours away !!
I have also been investigating my mom's side of the family who came from
Germany and settled in Madison, IN. One part of that family had already been
traced back to England in the 1500's. So I have had fun learning about my
family.
As some of you know my daughter in law of 2 yrs. (Annette) is expecting a
baby girl
(God willing) in October. She knows I dabble in genealogy, but has
no idea of the extent I have gone. Nor does she or my son know names and
towns, ect.
Tonight, they were over for my Grandsons 13th Birthday party (My daughter
Ann's
son). A day which I am PROUD to celebrate. Had I been able to go to
the reunion, we would have had the party last weekend.
While we were sitting around talking, Annette says--Oh! Cece-- Did you
know we have
decided on a name for the baby? I said, No-- What is it ? She
said--- Madison Elizabeth.
Well, if you will re-read over the letter you just read, I think you will
find
those two names have a prominate spot in my heart. God spoke to me
tonight, and I feel my ancestors had a part in it too !! I had to tell the
world !!
