Happy Mother’s Day! There are many mothers in my family tree and I would like to thank each one for making my being here possible! I want to dedicate today’s post to my direct line of mother’s who helped to make up my mtDNA.
I believe I will be able to go back another couple of generations but need to get the research completed before I will claim my ancestors. This is the line I have proven so far:

Unfortunately (but not surprisingly), I have not been able to locate a photo for Jane Berry. Her death in Appanoose, Iowa in March 1870 makes the likelihood of any photo taken pretty small.
Oh my goodness, your kids look so much like your Mom! Wow.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Erin,
You should see photos of my mom as a baby/toddler. Mia is the spitting image of her at that age.
