A Family Horror Story

Published: Jan. 15, 2019, 11:58 p.m.

b'Wow, was this weekend big! Correcting one set of errors about my grand-aunt led me to find an absolutely horrific story about her, her husband, and her children. I\'m telling it to you in all its gory glory, ruminating a bit on how my great-grandparents were responsible for parts of it, and drawing what genealogical lessons and morals I can from it and passing those on to you. Honestly, it\'s the worst story I\'ve ever run across in my tree, involving orphan\'s asylums, mental hospitals, untimely and tragic and violent deaths, and lives unfulfilled, while parallel lives went on undisturbed, comfortable, and full of success. The whole story made me stop and think about what little I knew about part of my mother\'s family, and confirmed some suspicions that had been handed down to me about my great-grandmother. Tune in for this one.
