Thanks to my cousin Katy Brecht’s research; she found this dispensation.

Thanks to my cousin Katy Brecht’s research; she found this dispensation. It was an important link because Maria Florentina Pinedo (my 4th GGM), widow of my 4th GGF Jose Juan Fernandez, and her second husband Gervacio Rodarte. It included a Family Trunk and named 3/4 generations pedigree. Most importantly it identified Celedonio Fernandez my 5th GGF. That connection enabled me to connect Erlinda Castanon-Long as my cousin. And Erlinda’s research was a fountain of connections to other cousins! In the past two weeks I’ve increased my cousin count by hundreds! Some I’ve traced to present day. I still have hundreds more to add.

This is the website Katy Brecht found:

BTW, the only 2 browsers that work are either Google Chrome or FireFox Mozilla.

Thanks to my cousin Katy Brecht and to Erlinda Castanon-Long!
