The theme for this week’s 52 Ancestors is “A Small Detail I
Love.” I discovered a small detail that warmed my heart. My grandmother, Anna
Marie (Sullivan) Hork registered to vote in Los Angeles, California, as a
Democrat. Her husband, William Cyril Hork, registered as a Republican.[1]
She chose the party that matched her convictions and did not just follow her husband’s advice. In fact, this could have been the start of their disagreements about things that later led to their life-long separation.
#52Ancestors: Week 36 – “A Small Detail I Love”
This is my ninth year working on this year-long prompt, hosted by Amy Johnson Crow (https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/) at Generations Cafe. I write each week in one of my two blogs, either Mam-ma’s Southern Family or My Trails into the Past. I have enjoyed writing about my children’s ancestors in new and exciting ways.
