Wow, that's a set of discoveries to make the news even more disturbingly relevant.
My mother says this war has a family feel. She has felt that way from the start.
One of my friends recently cleared up something that had been puzzling her about her great grandmother in the family tree and found out (via a previously unknown octagenarian cousin) that
the confusion was due to her great grandmother leaving her husband, who then took up with another woman, who adopted the name of her grandmother. That really doesn't help!
Seriously, no! What?
Oddly that makes her the second friend to have found their family tree confused by an undocumented change of name.
My namesake great-grandmother's family changed their name in the process of immigration for reasons that, if the family stories are true, is hilarious. (It involves evading the Imperial Russian IRS.)
