A Long Lost Aunt
Back in November 2008 I was doing a little on-line genealogy research and came across a message from a woman looking for information on William Jacob Simpson (Grandpa Vic's father). I e-mailed her, and she just now wrote me back. As it turns out, Billie was Grandpa Vic's half-sister. She was born in 1949 when Jake was 70(!), so she's 4 years younger than Mom but is her aunt. I'm not sure why we never knew about her (she is not listed in my Simpson genealogy book from Virginia - at least not where I think she should be), but I believe she is now our only living great-relative. She is actually our kids' great-great-aunt, if you can believe that. The internet is an amazing thing, isn't it?

I've been meaning to ask you more about this--how cool is that?! Did you find out anything about her?
