In this episode, we dive into the enigmatic life of Angeline, my third-great-grandmother. Angeline's story, largely overshadowed by the men around her, begins in 1863 when her young husband, Elisha, leaves to fight in the Civil War. Left behind with their unborn child, Angeline's life unfolds in the margins of historical records, filled with gaps and contradictions. Through years of persistent research, I uncover the fragmented pieces of her story and complex family dynamics during a turbulent period in American history. Join me as we explore Angeline's elusive narrative, shedding light on the often overlooked lives of women in our ancestry, and reflecting on the broader implications of genealogical research.Support the show!
