3rd Great Grandmother Amanda Darden and 4th Great Grandmother Georgianna Hall

Women often get lost in genealogy, especially when they get married. I don’t think oftentimes, people even realize they are ignoring the women in their ancestry.

Birth Record for 2nd Great Grandfather Moses Allmond

I’ve been looking for the death certificate for one of my 2nd great grandfathers because I don’t know when he died or where he is buried.
