I just found out via the 1900 Census that my great-grandmother spent time there (along with her sister) as teenagers and I've spent most the night trying to find information about these places. Even found a doctoral dissertation on the Home of Good Shepherd(s) history in my searching!<br />Would you happen to know much about the home in Cincinnati?<br />What's amazing about genealogy,by the way, is how it can shed light on family relationships as we dig deeper and deeper----helps us understand what influenced our parents and grandparents.<br /><br />Thanks for your story---impressive sleuthing!<br />Laura in ArizonaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425662299326279184.post-61940567455344039922011-03-30T23:02:00.831-04:002011-03-30T23:02:00.831-04:00wow! thank you so much, that would be GREAT! i'...wow! thank you so much, that would be GREAT! i'd also love to hear about the conference... always looking for new stratagies!! ;) - carrieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03744323505164170692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425662299326279184.post-51851745763763836832011-03-30T16:31:43.964-04:002011-03-30T16:31:43.964-04:00Carrie,

If it took prostitution, she did it. She provided for a daughter in a way she could knowing that the child would not be able to support herself ever.A rootdiggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02642330951208433671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425662299326279184.post-85913221248449869802011-01-09T10:22:18.243-05:002011-01-09T10:22:18.243-05:00The tenacity and creativity it took to pursue the ...The tenacity and creativity it took to pursue the answer to this family mystery is impressive, and you must be thrilled to have pulled it off. Congratulations on incredible sleuthing and a fulfilling ending! And I concur with your conclusion. Women must have the right to equal pay and equal work as men. It's our generation of women that made that possible (and it's still not ideal). And we, too, stand on the shoulders of giants who laid the groundwork for decades before us.
