For a good part of my life, I had a tin cracker box filled with old letters. Most of these were letters sent to me by old boyfriends, away at college or otherwise separated from me and declaring their affections. There were also some letters from friends off on a big adventure somewhere and I found them so well written, the details of their experiences so juicy that I chose to save them. There were a few letters from one of my parents who…

I am not a big user of social networking sites. About fifteen months ago, I opened a Facebook account to explore sharing photos with family. I decided to go another route and never looked at FB again. Occasionally, I'd get friend request emails which I ignored. Couldn't figure out why I was getting them, because, as far as I knew, my account was "invisible.” As it turns…

According to my grandmother, her father spent time in Birmingham working as a streetcar driver. I can place him in Georgia during each census year, so this would have been during an “in-between” time.

Juan Ponce as it turned out is a cousin of mine because we have the same ancestor, Poncio de Minerva also known as Ponce de Cabrera.
