It happened again. [View all]

I found ANOTHER great grandmother who re-married and nobody told me.

I'm giving a free pass to the first GGM because she remarried in Russia in the late 19th century and her husband's existence seemed secretive.

But my mother's mother's mother re-married the year after I was born. She had a new last name. Do you understand how this has screwed me up with my research? (BTW, she was in her 80s and her new husband died two months after the wedding.)
