A Child Of Atom

Thanks to my sister I now have this image to attach to my research about my oldest known ancestor. All I know about her is that she appeared in SC for the first time around 1880, with a daughter in tow. The daughter managed to have two children, but never lose her name. An interesting pair to say the least.

My sister has agreed to be my "legs" in this research effort. She lives in SC still, and has access to all of these libraries and records, and she has agreed that if I can stock up two or three at a time she'll be willing to go to the library and look them up for me. She's going to be a great help I think, as what I can discover from the available online records is quickly becoming thin. I'm not sure what I want out of this quest really. I've lamented before my lack of ethnic identity. Maybe that's what I'm looking for? Maybe it's just a connection to the larger world. I'm not sure. But the quest continues.
