I started a new weekly series called "52 Relatives" to document the lives of siblings of my ancestors with relatively short sketches with events and source citations. They deserve a sketch also - they were integral parts of the lives of my ancestral families. I will post the sketches on my Ancestry Member Tree and in the FamilySearch Family Tree.
