Connecting with Lee Cousins

Frances "Fannie" Drucilla Emmaliza Lee

Researching family is a fun hobby, especially when connecting with living cousins. Connecting with living cousins is possible by using all available resources such as social media, blogging, and DNA testing.

Social media is a great tool for family historians and researchers. Facebook Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Pinerest, and Linkedin are a few of the social media sites. These web-based technologies allow users to connect with others and share information.

Recently I connected with a descendant-in-law of Frances “Fannie” Drucilla Emmaliza Lee. Fannie married Clem Thompson. The living cousin is connected by marriage through this family line. 

Connecting with this living cousin was made possible by this online site, my blog, using Google Blogger. My living cousin came upon my blog in a search and found the contact information and contacted me. We then corresponded to determine the connection. We are related on my paternal line. Then we connected on a social media site and are sharing information. It has been a fun journey researching and connecting with living cousins.
