Each discovery leads to newer questions.

I used to think I'd find one piece of evidence that would lead to the next document and continue in a straight line to the next one, but really I end up circling back to where I started because I realize I missed the point. (And isn't it frustrating how many men marry someone with a similar or even same name as a previous wife!)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-31192818782740117522013-02-19T16:54:56.458-08:002013-02-19T16:54:56.458-08:00Mariann, sometimes I wonder if those are "sub...Mariann, sometimes I wonder if those are "substitute" marriages. I wonder if Leon ever even noticed the similarity of the two spouses' names.<br /><br />A "Round Tuit," my dear, is what we all say we need to get before we can begin efforts on a much-needed project. For instance, "I'll file those photographs away when I get 'a round tuit.'"<br /><br />In case you find yourself in that situation, I've already enclosed a rare Egyptian Round Tuit for you at the top of this post. Use it as needed.<br /><br />You're welcome! ;)Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-36627803245885533372013-02-19T16:45:03.244-08:002013-02-19T16:45:03.244-08:00Grant, I totally agree.

Always find just enough to know I need to learn more...next time!<br /><br />These trips now, however, are actually closer to home for me. It's just a matter of setting aside the day, hopping into the car and <i>doing</i> it! Hopefully, some time this spring!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-91874066803366118402013-02-18T08:26:48.889-08:002013-02-18T08:26:48.889-08:00Oh, how frustrating!

I would have also thought it must be a typo.Very inconsiderate of Leon to marry another woman whose name was close enough for a typo! These relatives ought to have left clearer records. : ) Good luck with your "Round Tuit" (what is that, anyway?), and maybe you will come back with more melodrama. Maybe even (I have to hope not) another bandage!Mariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-75823430331279387432013-02-18T06:45:21.820-08:002013-02-18T06:45:21.820-08:00I think you'll get a "Round Tuit.

I've done it enough to do the routine, and the better prepared I am before, the more I can get done. The time goes so quickly.<br /><br />Regards, Grant<br /><br /> The Brigham City Forthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730977120055467249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-5807798947624682572013-02-17T17:28:06.921-08:002013-02-17T17:28:06.921-08:00Well, it sure is tormenting me to want to know mor...Well, it sure is tormenting me to want to know more. After all, San Jose is not that far away. If I can set aside a day for research and gear up to brave all the traffic, it will certainly be worth the trip to find the solution to some of these minute mysteries!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-950448540469928402013-02-17T09:34:35.526-08:002013-02-17T09:34:35.526-08:00Interesting little tidbit:)Interesting little tidbit:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.com
