This is such great stuff! I became totally addicted to this research on ancestry.com, but it was too expensive and also a major time drain. It's interesting also, how much the details vary. For instance, I have Rosina Seip's husband's name as Edward, not Jacob. And my data shows Edward/Jacob lived to be 79, quite a bit longer than the 30 years the article states. If he only lived 30 years, my descendant in the family wouldn't have been born. It did just occur to me, however, that Rosina could have married Edward after Jacob died. Wouldn't be the first time a man married his brother's widow!
