Dear Liz,
I am glad you are back on and digging even deeper with your winnowing fork to find all your CAIN'S, it is exciting news already what you have found and more exciting days are sure to come.
I hope your packages have arrived. I have two more to send and that will have docmuemts of the Catherine CAIN connection.
I do hope you take it easy when going out and about, cold weather can make for illnesses, so do be careful, how kind of you to still go out and about to get the photos, you remind me of my GRANDMOTHER NANCY ANN ALJIFAIR CAIN, she never let her body get her down, she died at 92 , her mother 102, so that CAIN BLOOD SURELY FLOWS THROUGH YOUR VEINS. Please e-mail me when your parcels arrive so I may know you have received them in case they do not I may put a tracer on them.
I know Ms. COAKLEY meant only well of your book of life of the CAIN family. Actually a SAGA is an ongoing chronicles of ones' life, as chapters are in books, these are the chronicles of your CAIN life, which is meant that it carries on and on and on and on, which sometimes last for centuries as our lines go back, so I am sure that Ms. Coakely was using SAGA in the line of thought of chronicles, not in a way of making light of your research, in the ENGLISH Language, many words have double fold meanings. In this light of the word use I am sure that it was used for ongoing chroncicles of your CAIN family history research. I am glad that we are a family on this site and can see many of us come from different walks of life and education, some postees are true blood MANX as you are and some MANX descendants as I am, which we are all so proud of of that heritage and want to share and give to help one another find their descendants and I know we agree that is why this board exist, as always I had to learn how the board worked, and now I am ever grateful to all who have helped me.
I would like to know, are your CAINS, redhaired and blue-eyed, are do they have brown eyes and dark hair, or blond haired and blue eyed and I know you shall think how odd to ask such a thing, and I hope I am not being to forward, but my grandomother was red haired and blue eyed and her father NATHNANIEL CAIN was red haired and blue eyed and my daughter is red haired and has blue-green eyes. I am just wondering for some of our CAINS here are also more ROMAN LIKE in their color of skin and dark eyes and hair and I shall tell they are beautiful women, young and old, my grandmother was stately and tall and grayed early as I have and my sisters and brother, we gray very early in life. I hope you do not think it is odd to ask such, but I am so excited when I come , if we can meet and I can see a true blooded MANX CAIN family member. There are so many lines of CAINS that it makes ones' mind seem like it is in a whirlwind all the time, I have found out that the ADAM CAIN we had in our line, is NOT THE RIGHT ADAM CAIN, so you see, it takes time and I worked 37 years to find out this, but by Ms. Coakley helping me, she gave me the truth from actual Parish records, I had MORMON FILES and as stated they are not always accurate,so I am ever thankful to Ms. Coakley for her sacrificial research, these researches are not easy and take time, any genealogist is well worth his wages for it is hard work and time consuming. I have paid much for wrong data, so it is true,the records of the PARISHES cannot be refuted, MORMON files can.
Must go, have much to do and take care of yourself and stay warm,
To a true family Cain member,
Ruth
