The " Instant Relative Series " is a means of connecting stories with names, lives and memories of intriguing people from the past. Series has been created because of my interest in history, genealogy research, people and Geo-caching. Instant relatives are not related directly to our family, BUT who knows? The goal is to share stories which will entertain, educate and on occasion provide a little humor. If one should find inaccuracies within stories or information posted, please email and corrections will be made as necessary.
