Yesterday was extremely HOT!! (Miserable heat for weeks!) I sat at my computer—in my trailer home cooled by two window air-conditioners—and spent hours attempting to accurately document a “Frantz” family (a different Frantz family). Creating a collage with information—or a “challenge”—takes time, too. “I want to cry”  because I devote so much time, and energy, to benefit other researchers, and I am rewarded(?) with complaints.

POSTSCRIPT on Thursday afternoon. ~~ A “friendly” email message arrived from a cousin. He has some mysterious connection with newspapers and funeral homes. It has only been two days since this woman passed away. Her maiden name is “Frantz” but she belongs to a totally different tree. (I document everyone with the Frantz, Franz, France surname.)
