As I was starting to do research on my DAR line, I found a distant cousin who happened to be putting in her paperwork on the exact same ancestor, Nathaniel Brittain.
Wendy just recently started her own genealogy blog, Shaking Leaves: My Adventures in Genealogy, and I think you should head on over there and welcome her. She has a lot of cool cowboys in her family tree!
I just spotted this! You are so cool, Jen!! Thanks so much for the shout out and, more importantly, for inspiring me to start my own blog. I look forward to meeting you in person one of these days. I was telling my sister, Cindy, about you. I get the sense we’d all have fun together.
