8. Not only is she beautiful, Bertha, (as is her husband!)

but wow their intelligence and strength just comes off them in waves. I'll bet they were truly amazing people; wouldn't you like to have known them? I sure would have...

Thanks for posting!

10. Wish I'd known them? You have no idea, Peggy.

I want to know what their lives were like. I posted a letter from their daughter, my great-grandmother (also born in Russia, died in Oklahoma), in the Ancestry/Genealogy forum. I'm just beginning this family tree thing and I'm hooked.
