My mother and uncle have been doing all the research on their own. My great Grandfather sailed from Antwerp bound for Canada on the SS Mount Temple which had a short but eventful history on the seas. Today its at the bottom of the Atlantic full of dinosaur bones.
We’ve also found that my great grandmothers grandfather and his brother signed up to fight for the union on the same day. The brother apparently switched sides and never returned north to Wisconsin.
How did you find out this stuff about your family, CC?
