Hooray!!! I blog to share SHACKFORD family history and to meet others interested in family history but love it when I hear from a reader, especially one who is a cousin!!!
The gentleman also mentioned that he has cared for the gravestones in the B. W. Jenness/ SHACKFORD family graveyards for 25 years. This graveyard includes the gravestone of Samuel Shackford whose obituary we shared on May 25, 2014 and who married Nancy (Ann) Walker).
He also reminded me that two siblings of Samuel Shackford married two siblings of Nancy Walker which is a really neat topic for a future blog.
So from one blog, we find a cousin!!!, learn about his connection to the SHACKFORDs, learn that he's been helping preserve SHACKFORD history by caring for the graves we just blogged about, and garner an idea for another story about SHACKFORD Family History. How cool is that!
