Scanning a journal page by page and reading the translations opens a window on the past that often produces more questions than answers. \u00a0The following links help others follow the path into the past. \u00a0Karen was fortunate to continue her research with cousins in Denmark in 2009. \u00a0There is always more to discover such as bumping into another cousin in a cemetery who had a picture of my great grandmother!<\/p>\n
