I've been on a hunt for my Dad’s birth Mom.
Nearly 79 years
later, the trail is faint with paths that potentially lead one way or perhaps
another. Along one path I find
photos of a man who may or may not have been Dad’s grandfather. We look at the photos seeking
facial similarities with Dad vocalizing our wonderings. “Do those eyebrows look like mine? I don’t think we have the same nose.”

Dad, Mom, nephew and daughter, December 2011 |
The connection
between this man and Dad is possible. But I don’t yet have enough concrete evidence to approach any of the man’s
living family members. So my research continues.
In
the meantime, I post my daughter’s freckled face and receive a beautiful thank
you from my Dad. “I vaguely remember relatives remarking on my freckles
but I don’t know at what age. Many
thanks and lots of love to you all. Dad”
Dad’s
exact ancestry is unknown but among the known heritage he brought to the
family, it does include wonderful freckles!
