Raised by my grandparents, I got to be with more relatives and hear stories as we sat on the porch on summer evenings after supper in the late 30's and mid-40's (wish there had been tape recorders then). I asked questions from my great aunt after Grandmother died, but until computers came along, I didn't really get started trying to put things together. Several years ago I bought copies of 5 scrapbooks of newspaper clippings that old friends had kept, and are for sale at the Agency MO Museum (I was raised in Agency), so have been making connections ever since. Then MO death certificates and Find-a-Grave have enabled me to have more information on people. So it is great fun and I appreciate everyone (especially Lesa Pfrommer, who I did not know, but found on the Internet, and my husband and I are both related to her!)
