On the regular feed of my blog, I had shifted to the Bridges family. Now after learning that a very special cousin is coming for a visit, I plan to suspend the Bridges and go back to the Ewing line.
My cousin has a birthday coming up in February, and her daughters are planning a surprise trip to see me. She is turning 77 and we haven't seen one another in years. I keep up with her on FB and on the phone, but it will be glorious to hug her and see her in person. I was very close to her family as I grew up. I'm ten years younger and she treated me more like a sister, and I often called her mother (my aunt Francelle) my 2nd mother. More about that later.
But why the shift back to the Ewing line? I am building her a family history book with our common Ewing connection as a gift. She has done a DNA profile and has kindly offered me to be the manager of that profile. I'm hopeful for more discoveries in the future. Since I am deeply into those files, I might as well share it on the blog. It is a line that I have not done a book for, and this line goes WAY back.
The Ewing Family Association has done excellent research and sourcing on all of the Ewing lines, but I have had to document my lineage up to the 1700s, which has taken much time and effort over the years. It has paid off as one of the best researchers picked up on my line, and I received great validation in that. I began to follow Wallace K Ewing P.H.D. (much more about him in the days to come) as he is from the same James Ewing, Jr. 1758 as my lineage. More about this wonderful man later in the blog.
Since I am building the book, I will add that information to my blog. So....let's get start....stay tuned.
