This dear lady was so kind, thoughtful, generous, and loving as I was introduced into the Old German Baptist Brethren community (1989). She embraced me because of my maiden name (Frantz) and my Frantz ancestry. Today I learned of our “circuitous cousin” connection. (Sometimes it’s so confusing, I can’t figure it out.) Her husband was distinctly my fourth-cousin-one-time-removed.

Another Boyd-Frantz connect-ion!!

Barbara Frantz is my first cousin-four-times-removed.

Fourteen hours later and “resolve” really did “fly out the window.” Seriously, there isn’t a stopping point!!
