The Magic of Facebook

Facebook gets a lot of negative press these days, and yes, I understand why that is.

But when a distant family member I've never met before can find me, and then send me pictures of my great-great- grandmother to wish me a Happy Mother's Day, I just have to say that facebook is pretty bloody fantastic.

This is Annie Lawson Lawrence Everett, who was the mother of Alice Everett Cox, who was the mother of my grandfather, James Stanley Cox.
