I had gotten into a rut and didn't feel inspired to work on genealogy when my sister sent me an email that listed some names that she had copied from an obituary---that she had found amongst the pictures and slides that I had taken an interest in to digitize by scanning and tagging.
I dutifully printed the email and tucked it in with the other records on the Ritchey family.....
Then I get an email from a stranger who is working on the Ritchey family on Ancestry.com....
The two sources together helped us connect individuals that the other did not know about!!
The Lord works in mysterious and wonderful ways.
