Hi Monique! I suspect we are related, although I'm not sure exactly how. Your grandmother, Mabel Shaar had a brother named Elmer. He is buried in the same plot as my great grandmother, Lydia Ann Shaar. I have yet to track down the exact connection between them. However, in the process, I have learned a lot about Elmer's, and your Mabel's, ancestry. I hope this helps you. I also have a picture of Elmer's tombstone, if you would like it.
