October is Family History Month but this month is Family History Month come
early for me. What really brings it home for me is that my cousin Ronald Edward
Harrison, whom I have not seen in 40 years (I was 7 1/2 yrs. and he was about
6 weeks old) has found me thanks to my web site!! He contacted me 2 days
after LLCGS presented me with the award (coincidence).
He is the son of my Dad's youngest brother Donald Joseph Harrison who
divorced Ron's mother when Ron was only a few months old. Don disappeared
