Bertha

A short response to Dan:

I believe my grandmother Bertha was born in 1890 followed by Oscar and Amanda... so contemporaries of Annie, Katie, Sarah. They were the youngest "ours" of a blended Swedish family (the family tree resembles macramé... two sisters married unrelated brothers; therefore, mine, yours, ours and theirs...). My Uncle Leslie (a "theirs') looked like my father (more than his actual brother).

I never got to meet my grandmother; she died of cancer before I was born. I do have a picture of her though, my father favored her, and she did get to meet my mother.

The other family roots go back to various places at various times. Our DNA shows no Native American, a fairly definite sign that we were all immigrants; although their "ethnicity" and "country-of-origin" don't match up. It's important for me to remember that people have always "gotten around".
