Bob,
I am fascinated with every aspect of my heritage. I guess it came to be so important to me because it was so important to my Dad. When his mother remarried, my Dad was very young and lost touch with his father's family. All of my life, I remember Daddy's hunger to know where he came from and to connect with his relatives. He found distant relatives occasionally, and a few other non-related Eddings families. I carry on this search to know all I can about my family, especially Daddy's lineage, in his memory.
The information you shared is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time in helping us with those connections.
God Bless,
Carole
