A True Land-mark!
by Jo Hogle
My e-mail address is JoBrd@aol.com
and I live in
Minnesota.
In 1986 I fell into unexpected ownership
of a house I had rented in the town where my mother's family had lived
for generations. From conversations with my grandmother's brother, I learned
that my greatgrandfather had been born on the family farm on the shore of
a lake near where I lived.
I checked out the old plat maps and the
abstract, and discovered that my home stood on land that had once been
owned by my ggggrandfather, and my interest in genealogy was instantly
spawned!
