This week's post as part of my participation in Amy Johnson Crow's 2018 version of the 52 Ancestors meme. Week 9: "Where There's a Will". Amy points out this could be a probate case, a strong willed ancestor or a ancestor named Will. For me, it will always be the probate case of Abraham Oakley. Every time I think of the prompt Abraham comes up. Probably because I had searched for SOOOO long for a link between Abraham and his daughter, Laura. Over 20 years, closer to 25 years.
A while back Man and I did some of that DNA testing. Ya, that stuff. Now, I have not had the time or energy to really figure it all out. But, when I first had our results I was snooping around on Ancestry dot com and somehow stumbled into a family tree that had this document linked to it. A one page document! Here is a clip of the full document:
Rather than repeat myself, I direct you to this post, which I wrote at the time.
One piece of paper and 25 years of research, snooping, tracing lines sideways, backwards and forwards. It just took ONE piece of paper.
I wasn't too happy!
