i had an interesting thing occur today-found a cousin who played with my mom on the old family farm and at aunts house across from the farm on rt 34-this farm(tansey's) had the first roadside stand in monmouth county and betty and my mom loved watching the stand when they were allowed to! betty found me because i had posted before holidays that i was looking for tanseys. her friend blair mcfadden, called her and betty said she was so excited at hearing my name as she knew my mom had named her baby linda(52 yrs ago) so she wrote and one thing or another led to me forgetting to write back-today i called her in pennsylvania - she has the family history from my two great aunts who were like grandmothers to me! and she knows all the married names etc- i am so relieved and happy and thrilled that i actually TALKED to someone that knew all my family and my mom, that i just thought maybe the list would like seeing that someone has finally knocked a few bricks loose! i was getting to be a master at facing brick walls as they all say-=linda erdmann brown- daughter of dot tansey
