.I have been working on the Thayer Family Tree and knew that Ernest and Hattie had another son, Leslie but have never seen any proof of it anywhere or mention of what year he was born. Last night when I finished my blog I went back to ancestry.com and did some more work on the Tree. I was working on Uncle Bing and found him in the census of 1900 so took that and put it on his profile and when it went on it listed the other members of the house hold and there was Leslie listed at four months old. That is older than I ever heard he lived to and that gave me the date that he was born. This was just as we were on our way to bed so this morning I went through Web’s diaries and found the diary for 1898, 1899, 1900, and 1901. When I finish this blog I will get dinner into the oven and then start reading the diaries and see if I can find Leslie’s birth and death and anything that Web says about him. I get all excited when I find a new bit of history but must tend to the present before getting lost in the past. So on with 1911.
