Finding a Lost Grandmother
Reconnecting lost relatives from a Google search
A few months back I wrote about my mother’s High School Yearbook from 1927. My sister had that stored away in a box with old family photos for many years; she gave it to me so that I could scan and digitize everything for the rest of our family.
I learned a few things about my mother in that yearbook. The most surprising to me was that she apparently had been on the Girls Basketball Team. She’s not in the team picture, but she was mentioned in the recap of their “losing season”. I never saw her touch a basketball throughout my youth! Her profile description and a mysterious entry in the Class Will gave more information and raised some questions.
I also wondered if any of their descendants might someday stumble across those mentions and learn something about their own parents or grandparents.
