                                   =================================

Lucinda (Seaver) Bruce (1821-1899) is my 2nd great-grandaunt and the sister of my 2nd great-grandfather, Isaac Seaver (1823-1901).  

I have posted over 500 genealogical sketches of  my ancestors back through the 7th great-grandparents and a number of close relatives. 

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 post the 52 Ancestors and 52 Relatives sketches on the 52 Ancestors/Relatives Biographies page, in my Ancestry Member Tree, in WikiTree, and in the FamilySearch Family Tree.
