Notable Women Ancestors

GFSSam@aol.com, one of the Genealogy Forum's most popular chat hosts and researchers extraordinaire has again been hailed for her excellent work with her Notable Women Ancestors Web page. The latest entry in her list of compliments is a write-up from Myra Vanderpool Gormley titled Notable Women -- Our Mothers:

"Few genealogists can trace matrilineal lines, from your mother to her mother, to her mother's mother and so on. The surnames change with each generation and records about females are much more difficult to find and sift through than they are for our male ancestors. However, one woman, Susanne ``Sam'' Behling, decided to do something about this. She started a website and a newsletter where she gathers and publishes biographical and genealogical information on female ancestors. "

BRAVO, Sam! We're proud of you!
