    This was so touching. I was very sad to hear her disappointment and what seemed to be "harsh" comments about the teenage boys... and their mom. So happy that you dug deeper and found the greater truth. I love it so much.

    You never know, why people are led to commit crimes! Lillias's husband died and she had no other choice but to steal to feed her kids! Back then, there were no resources for willowed women to get help for their families! So glad that today; there are services for women to participate in! Food banks, shelter, education and work programs! Save the children! 🙏

    So firstly someone needs to tell this lady its now a badge of honour to have an Australian Convict in ones linage.
    And also my condolences to FINDING YOUR ROOTS family on the loss of Johni Cerny.

    Check all of them, my mother told me.I have an Araucano last name and I.am Puertorrican,the school principal caledl my mother because I did not check the Negro Box on the card given to all students. This was in Westchester County New York in 1955 .0

      😏 When I was still in grade school and the "boxes" were to be checked I refused to check any. So, the teacher sent me home with an envelope for my mother. She did whatever she needed to do and sent it back. My teacher was very sweet and asked me why I didn't check "Caucasian". I told her I didn't check anything because I'm Finnish and that wasn't on there. This may have been second or third grade. It took me years to understand what Caucasian meant.

      She seems like a very nice person but everyone doesn't have beauty. Beauty is rare, Lupita N'yongo, Sophia Loren, Amara la Negra, Salma Hayek, Iman, Marilyn Monroe, etc...those are exceptional looking women. Soledad is an average looking woman and there's nothing wrong with that.
