I think you are made from the fabric of those pioneer women. I'm not sure I would have made it though. But I proclaim to my family, we come from resilient women.

I enjoyed thinking about being a pioneer woman while I read it. I hope if I were ever tested like these people were that I would stand up like they did and make the world a better place. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160021015821033799.post-19179836230716234442014-08-06T22:10:55.233-04:002014-08-06T22:10:55.233-04:00Vagabonde, you can do much research online now and...Vagabonde, you can do much research online now and I'm sure you would find information on your French GG grandmother. I did lots of digging when I was researching my family history, but have just about given it up in the past few years. I hope some of the younger relatives in my family will take over as family historian. I can give them all my research and notes. Yes, I do have lots of extended family, but I have no children,and only one sister and brother left. <br />Glenda C.

It certainly must have been different in Florida in those days – heat and mosquitoes and no air conditioning. He must have been what I think they call a “green” fellow, no, fathering a child in his early 70s? They sure had large families then. <br />I heard that my great great grandmother, in France, had 22 children! She was titled with no money and married a rich farmer. I wish I could research her past, but it is in France, so it’s not possible. You must have many relatives – how fortunate. I really enjoyed reading about your ancestors.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.com
