=================================
Melcvina Marylis "Minnie" (Kemp) Trembley (1866-1929) is my great-grandaunt and the sister of my great-grandmother, Georgianna (Kemp) Auble (1868-1952).
I have posted over 500 genealogical sketches of my ancestors back through the 7th great-grandparents and a number of close relatives - see the list in 52 Ancestors/Relatives Biographies.
The "52 Relatives" theme is a weekly series to document the lives of siblings of my ancestors with relatively short genealogical sketches, including important events, and with source citations. These relatives lived and died within a family structure, and deserve a genealogical sketch - they were integral parts and important persons in the lives of my ancestral families. I will post the sketches on the 52 Ancestors/Relatives Biographies. and my Ancestry Member Tree, in WikiTree, and in the FamilySearch Family Tree.
