Dear Journal,
I’m ashamed to admit my negative thoughts. I love to help folks with their family history. I love to be a “genealogy detective.” I give away my time and talent and expect nothing more than a “thank you.” When appreciation doesn’t materialize, I’m a “disappointed detective”!!

For more than three months, I have been isolated (due to Coronavirus) and too few hugs and affirming conversations.
My unscientific solution to the DNA “cousin” conundrum: We are related through the unidentified grandfather.
