Some people have had some bittersweet experiences through
genealogy, but the final result is typically positive. The following
story demonstrates how using OneGreatFamily can bring families
together and solve real family issues:
I had been looking for my grandmother, Ella Mae
McLeran, for four years since the sudden death of my father in
1998. I knew that she was in a nursing home somewhere in Georgia,
but I could not find her. I finally found her last October when I
saw her death notice in the Social Security Death
Index.
Through some more tracking on the Internet, I
located an attorney in Georgia who had her remains in a cardboard
box on a shelf in his office! When I tried to claim her body, he
told me that I did not have enough evidence to prove that I was
her granddaughter - and I had birth certificates, death
certificates, etc., all the way back to my grandfather, her
husband. When I ordered her death certificate, I realized why he
told me that. All of her pertinent family information was marked
"unknown"!
My parents were divorced for years and as my
dad was from Florida, I knew that there had to be some relations
there who could help me. I received an email message advertising
OneGreatFamily and took a 7-day trial subscription. On my first
search, I located our family tree, and the administrator was a
cousin! Through contact with her, I finally was able to claim my
grandmother's ashes and bury her in the family plot in Florida.
Thanks to OneGreatFamily this story had a happy ending!
Regards,
