Nearly, but NO!

A couple of notes before the post. First, if you've emailed since New Year's Day I'm sorry I haven't responded! I've gotten behind on answering emails to my blog address. I'm planning on going through those this week. Second, the title of this post is a line from Phantom of the Opera. Hearing the show 8 times a week I can probably recite the entire book. Unfortunately I have no idea what's happening because we can't see anything from the pit. So the title is just to amuse myself ;-)
Okay, on to the post...

Some info not included above, mostly because I couldn't figure out how to show it without it looking like the jumbled mess that it is. From census info Minnie and Elijah have at least 4 children. The profile on this tree shows one. After Minnie rises from the dead and moves to New York she is living with her 6 children who all have the Donaldson surname. When she moves to Nebraska she's living with her brother, Alex Lendberg. Makes perfect sense.
In the last couple of days the tree owner has deleted the events after death so maybe there's hope. The records are still attached which means everyone else who has Minnie Gertrude Donaldson in their tree will be getting those records as hints. How many of them will attach the records without a thought?


Thanks to Shirley for the link to this profile ;-)
