About Clara: My great grandmother, Clara may have been in an unregular marriage. I asked my grandmother about the situation before she died and she refused to talk about it. I discovered through genealogy research that my grandmother lived across the street from her half siblings and their mother. According to the records my great-grandfather had been previously married, so I'm not sure if he ever got an annulment before marrying my great-grandmother and starting a second family. All I know is that my great-grandmother had a Catholic Mass upon her death. I also know, from my grandmother, that she felt that my grandmother felt that her mother was selfish. She frequently told me a story of how all she wanted for Christmas was a pair of snow pants and instead her mother gave her a rug for her room, a rug that stayed in the room. "She just wanted to redecorate the house!" So, if you can perform an act of kindness or generosity it would probably be a help to my great-grandmother if you'd offer it on her behalf. more... less...
