family

My aunt, my mother, another aunt, my grandmother pregnant with my uncle.

Working on my family tree. Discovering things about my family I did not know. I love it. I feel like a detective. What excitement to discover something that you did not know. My mother is the only one left that remembers things so I have been asking and writing down everything she tells me. I did not know that my grandmother lived in Iowa. I did not know that her mother my great-grandmother and my great-great grandfather are buried in Iowa. My great-grandmother died in 1918 at the age of 38 of the great flu epidemic that killed an estimated 50 million people world wide.
