Word Received From Case Family Descendant

After years of futile search we have finally received word from a descendant of Emilie Fieg Case, better known as Aunt Millie.  Sharon Smith Hirsch stumbled onto the Fieg Family News and sent us a missive.  We could not be more delighted.

Sharon writes, "My mom is Judy Case Smith Wood, daughter of Stanley and Emily Case. I, too, was born in August -- August 9, 1965. I'm the one mentioned in Emilie's letter as the one year old (note 14). It is amazing to see this history -- I'm sharing it with my kids (Matthew is almost 20 and Katie is 17.)"



Please join us in welcoming Sharon and her family back to the fold.  We only hope to be so fortunate to see them at the Fieg family reunion in Cooperstown on August 3 through 5. 

Regrettably, though Sharon contacted us through the FFN blog, we cannot immediately determine how or where to respond to her.  If there is a family member who can help us to do this, please contact your editor at 361-387-7329 or jkestner@stx.rr.com

Aunt Millie died in Milford, Pa. in 1984. What a thrill it would be to add a leaf to the branch of the family tree and what tid-bits of family lore have been handed down through the Case line!
