And several times over until all of a sudden the writing makes sense and you
can read it!
On the other hand a "new" LORD cousin of mine was looking for the brother of
my ancestor for 25 years, microfilm by microfilm, and I found him for her in
less than 30 minutes thanks to ancestry.
Another aside, I have a LORD line down thru Ransom with the Marriage of
Therophilus Ransom who married Sarah Wright Shepard, TR died before Lydia
Ransom was born and Sarah 'disappeared from my view' I requested a lookup of
Ohio marriages and there she was, in more ways than one! Thanks again to
ancestry I already had her in 3 census, next door to her Ransom Daughter and
several homes from her DAvis children!
