These graves are in Sandusky Ohio. They are related to a man who died some 40 year ago, who had the same name as my son, Russell Heym.
So he's been bit by the Ancestry bug...and spent hours trying to see if he's at all really related to his doppelganger, only that's not the right term...they don't necessarily look alike, but have the same, relatively unusual names.
I gave him all kinds of information, and away he's gone!
The first Russell lived from 1919-1989, and his mother died when he was about 2, and he was raised by his grandparents. But who the connection might be between these 2 families is completely missing. They all originally came from Germany.
So we've had fun tracing people that probably aren't related to us today. A whole day of sitting on laptops at the kitchen table. And eating left overs. My daughter-in-law and the 3 grands went shopping. I gladly passed. No thanks for me.
Oh, who are August and Julia Heym? They would be great grandparents of Russell (1919-1989).
Hello, researching your ancestry can be addicting. I have done a lot of searching on the ancestry dot com. It is fun! Enjoy your day, have a happy weekend!
