My Line of Mothers

Happy Mother's Day!

These are the known women of my Ancestry who have passed on, with their birth names intact. I begin with me and walk back each generation, with my living mother, Margaret being the First Generation and my living grandmothers Pat and Doris being the second and last of my living mothers.

With a breath of gratitude as the world pauses to honor those who live, I cross the threshold and whisper to those who stand behind and beneath me.

[If you find that we share a common ancestor, I would love to hear from you.]
