Keep pulling that string and connecting those dots.
Who was that woman who paid for the cemetery plot? And the dots keep connecting.

File under collateral research...
I am constantly reminded that, often times, people are MUCH closer in real life than a family tree might otherwise indicate.
So, research those siblings and inlaws like crazy. Never assume some person is too far afield - you just never know.
FAN!

Birth of my paternal grandmother, Marguerite Frances Hughes, daughter of Joseph Patrick Hughes and Catherine Veronica Holleran, in Boston. Baptized at St Cecilia's.
No known baby photos. The earliest I have is from about 1920, with my grandfather.

The real story is almost always better than the soundbite version, and the truth lies somewhere between 'team of men discovered DNA' and 'men stole woman's work'. History may have been unfair to Rosalind Franklin for various reasons, but some of the revisionist history has been unfair to her too.
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

You see, this wasn’t just an election; it was proof of life.
This was irrefutable evidence that the beautiful collective heart of our nation is still functioning.
It was much-needed confirmation that our two-hundred-and-fifty-year-old Republic, though terribly wounded, is not dead.

Many of you know I'm a strong proponent of building the collaborative #FamilySearch tree. I'm grateful for records made available & felt I was paying it back by building the tree.
Today, I'm heartbroken. I encountered a malicious destroyer. Years of work gone in a day. 💔
