First Case Study
My husband has a remarkable group of ancestors in his family. One of them is the Morse family, who arrived in America in 1635. My husband has an amazing group of ancestors in his family. One of them is the Morse Family. They came to America in 1635.
The Morse family served as community leaders, soldiers, farmers, and much more. The women in this family were strong and made waves of their own. Some of the profiles I have written about the women are longer than those of the men. They were preachers; they raised their grandchildren when they should have been enjoying their retirement, raised over ten children, moved across the country, and one lived long enough to see five generations generations.
I am discovering the challenge of finding genealogical records for women. I have been able to use the lives of their children and spouses to fill in some of the blanks. A few of them made such an impact in their communities that they had long obituaries written about them.
My case study is focused on a group of mothers and daughters who all share the same given name-- Mehitable.
These women lived through a horrible sickness that attempted to take out their whole community, the death of infant children, and watching their remaining sons go off to war.
I am excited to add this case study to my portfolio.
