Say Hello to Elephind! by Kenneth R. Marks on The Ancestor Hunt
Thanks so much for including my post in your finds! Have a great weekend.
Thank you for including my circus story. The ad is for Audubon County, Iowa. I was surprised to learn of Tracy L Rebstock’s connection to Exira, which is in Audubon County. Grandma Leora attended Mrs. Connrardy’s Sewing School in Exira in 1910, while Comet Halley was visible!
Thanks so much for including my post this week!
