My sister died last year and it has certainly brought the rest of us siblings much closer together. No relationship is without some contention I think, and that's also a challenge to work through after a death.<br /><br />Great writing, as usual. ❤️rebecca carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09431068080073840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773527493536761686.post-76777179415944849912021-06-03T06:08:07.513-05:002021-06-03T06:08:07.513-05:00keep it upkeep it upGodhulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282698989383915700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773527493536761686.post-38103177871909355772021-06-01T07:13:57.906-05:002021-06-01T07:13:57.906-05:00As a strongly introverted person, I resonate with ...As a strongly introverted person, I resonate with so much of what you expressed.

He married Leah (surname unknown) and fathered Rachel (known to our family as Raytzel) who married David Beilman (now BELLMAN) and together they had several children who all emigrated to the US in the beginning of the 20th century. One of them was my beloved grandfather, Lamar (Leib). I have been trying to find out more about the Markson family in Pilvishkai and just saw this entry posted in 2009. If you or anyone else reading this knows anything please post! Thank you!
