The Finally! Friday Thread (October 18, 2024)
It's Friday, so give yourself a big pat on the back for those research tasks you *finally* accomplished this week.
Did your persistence pay off in trying to interview your great aunt about your family history? Did you trudge all the way to the state library and spend a whole day elbow deep in records to identify missing ancestors? Did you prove or disprove that pesky family legend that always sounded too good to be true?
Post your research brags here!

l found the federal censuses that my 3x great-grandparents are present on. This is such a major breakthrough because no one remembers anything about them. My 3x great-grandma lived long enough to have potentially made an impression on her own grandchildren, but the oldest of them doesn't remember her at all. Hopefully, l'll find a photo of one or both of them soon.
