This morning I received a message through Ancestry.com, someone looking for info or pictures on my great grandmother's second marriage -- a marriage I hadn't even known about. I quickly found out what I could, but considering the timeline of this marriage, it makes no sense that I never even knew of it. The husband died before I was born, but I knew this great grandmother throughout the first ten years of my life. We're all descendants of her first marriage, and she forever went by that husband's name. Oh, the intrigue...
It's exactly this kind of thing that can send you down the rabbit hole of genealogy, and I'll have to put off further research till I have a few solid hours I can spend on it.
