Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.

Events in My Family Tree: February 3
I don't have many events for February 3, but one of them illustrates how extended the family is in my family tree program. One of my Schneiderman cousins had a small treasure trove of telegrams sent for wedding wishes but didn't know how the people who sent them were related to him. So I did some research, figured out the connections, and then entered everyone into my database so I could more easily share the information with him. It's a somewhat convoluted path to describe how the first person listed under Deaths is connected to me.

Nellie Elizabeth Sellers, daughter of Cornelius Elmer Sellers and Laura May Armstrong, was born February 3, 1912 in Mount Holly, Burlington County, New Jersey. She is my grandaunt.

Eva's sister was Annie Rachel Petranovsky, who was married to Sam Schneiderman, son of Joine Schneiderman and Anna Ida. Sam is my great-great-granduncle, brother of my great-great-grandmother Esther Leah Schneiderman Gorodetsky.
