Doris

I sit here smiling as I reflect on a Christmas letter from a 93 year old woman I've never met.  Doris lives in my grandfather's area of Pennsylvania.  She answered my plea many years ago, well before the age of the internet, for help on my family search.  We are not related, at least no connection has been found so far.  She responded by transcribing information from books and clipping obituaries from the local newspapers.  She watched for many family names for me and did the same for others.  She is a genealogy angel. 

Thank you Doris for your kindness.  You have set the bar high for helping others.
