We need to learn more about Hannah. I have seen information that Hannah Yerkes who married Wykoff is being conflated with Hannah Yerkes who Married Wright. That is, we have the wrong Hannah as daughter of Silas. This would be a good one to sort out.

  Oh! Is that so? I had not heard that…hmmmm….So, do you know who they think should be the father of our Hannah? If I have some time, I’ll try to look into this more this weekend. Thanks for the heads up, Michael!

Hollie is a jill-of-all-trades and master of a few. She is your typical introvert attempting to live a simpler life in a complicated world. She has two grown children who live in a much warmer climate. When she is not researching her family's history, you might find her writing, taking some photographs, digging in the dirt, doing a little yoga, or with her nose in a book. You also might find her walking along the Ohio & Erie Canal with her other half and their two dogs, Ben and Gus - a grouchy, old mixed-breed and a spoiled Siberian Husky. If you can't find Hollie, she's probably at the library.
