Alzo of The Accidental Genealogist started the Fearless Females prompts for
Women’s History Month. Throughout March, each day will feature a different
female ancestor. Today’s
prompt is: How did they meet? You’ve documented marriages, now, go back a bit.
Do you know the story of how your parents met? Your grandparents?
My parents met at a local dance.
My mom was there with her cousin, “Aunt Denise”. I forget who Daddy went with
that day. She introduced them. They hit it off.
I have no clue how mom’s parents
met. Daddy’s parents (that's them in the photo circa 1943) actually met when they were in grade school. Baba was a
year older and could speak a little English so she helped Gigi learn English.

I love that you are sharing your stories! I missed yesterday, but might try to make it up. I need to ask some family members if they remember how various people met.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dana. I find I get the best family stories by asking a single question and just letting them ramble on and seeing where it goes!
