Hello, I'm Robin. Some of you may know me as the cRaZy chic who called one day out of the clear blue asking lots of questions... somehow knowing a lot about your/our family. To make a long story short: I am Stella’s granddaughter.
Stella had two (2) girls; Jacqueline and Joyce.
I am Jacqueline’s, her favorite/only child.
In 2002, my one and only 1st cousin, Christopher (Joyce's son), while planning his wedding it seemed the guest list was creating problems. I learned they were inviting one person but not their sibling.
It’s a shame neither of us knew our family members.
So to insure that no one would be left out
I began tracking everyone down
Day by day, one by one, one phone call after the other. My OCD went into overdrive. I would come straight home from work and start my data entry. Making spreadsheets, list of things to do, who to call, and “How Did I Miss That?” lists. All the while telling gra’ma all about my finds. It was as exhausting as it was exhilarating. Hearing everyone’s enthusiasm and their great story’s. You guys kept thanking me. But, I can’t thank you all enough. Believe me, it is my pleasure. My motivation… thinking about Big Nonna and reconnecting her family.
