BTS of The Grandpa She Never Knew with Molly Bice-Jackson

Know Your Ancestors

#15: It turns out, there's more to the story! Molly was hoping to know more about how her great-grandmother passed away because she knew that her death was hard on her grandfather Emanuel. Well---the angels both on this side and the other pulled through, with Maryland Vital Records being made available for free online just over this past weekend! Seriously incredible. Listen to "the rest of the story," to hear the sad story of Sophia Hirschhorn's final months of her life and how that likely affected her family.
Listen to episode 14 (the one just before this) with Molly-Bice Jackson to hear all about finding her biological grandfather.
Reclaim the Records is the organization who made these records available - please support their efforts. And thank you to Michael McCormick who worked tirelessly to make the Maryland Vital Records available through Reclaim the Records.
