Well, I feel certain that Grandma NEVER said anything about living there as a youngster. Never heard of Lorain, OH. It makes her whole life come into a bit more focus... her parents and her Aunt & husband are now more real to me. My heart is a bit more "turned" toward my fathers. Without their sacrifices, I doubt if I'd be a member and you'd have your great Mom, husband or your children.
More FAM HISTORY DATA are showing up now than before. Used to have to have good info BEFORE you could send formal requests for Census data or birth & death records....and it cost money each time.
I noticed yesterday that ANCESTRY is now providing RL POLK CITY DIRECTORIES online for members but haven't figured out if they are online for all of the USA...WOW!!!!
Also, it makes me feel so tender about that 4 year old in OH whose Mom would only live about five more years and her dad who had to find that 8 or 9 year old child someplace else to go to be raised.
Let's assume you were an old west trapper...a successful one. One whose party had hundreds of pounds of furs, perhaps tons of furs...and the season was not yet over.
Where could you secure hundreds of pounds of furs that you had trapped so you could go to the next trapping area?
If you left them in a large pile, Indians might steal them; so might other trappers.
After thinking about it, you could bury them in a secure place (perhaps a riverbank) for safekeeping. Yep, in caches. (Aha you say, "So is that where Cache Valley, Utah got its name?") Um-hmmm, probably.
So, what's a "light" cache? The place where I store ideas, thoughts, pictures and promptings that I intend to save until I can share them more completely with others.
Yes, you may peek and ponder to your heart's desire! These "furs" won't be sold for money.
My only request is that you ponder each for what they may mean to you and those you love.

Is there something about Lorrain that makes you super excited? Or just got the bug of doing the work?
