Thanks. Yes, I know exactly what you mean about the frustration of having to try and define these women as “negative space” by piecing together scraps of info on the people around them. It feels so inadequate; all the more so when you’re dealing with someone like AMB, whose life was so astonishingly dramatic. Sad to say, it’s true of a lot of more recent women in my tree as well – as recent as the early 20thC.

Her life represents some of the earliest English experiences of home settlement. Keep up the good work, especially pushing amateur family historians like myself to keep true to the primary sources and build context from that versus presumptions. Erin @ AliceMartinBishop.com
