I had thought about writing the owners to see if we could visit and tour the house but it never occurred to me to ask for more information about the buildings and farm. The owners actually don't live there but it looks like they are taking fairly good care of the house and side building and may be willing to answer questions. Thanks so much for suggesting it!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-90866165884207266032013-07-12T21:51:57.946-04:002013-07-12T21:51:57.946-04:00Thank you for including my post, Jana.

Did you think to write the current family and ask them? I bet they will fill in the blanks and maybe even take photos?Barbara Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440544740334032378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-4367327443414122082013-07-12T15:45:38.805-04:002013-07-12T15:45:38.805-04:00Hi, Claudia.

I think that's why we have such a hard time finding our female ancestors!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-12638977888373807672013-07-12T13:34:40.482-04:002013-07-12T13:34:40.482-04:00Nancy,
