Drifting Away

Well, I've been off on a tangent, as so often happens with me and genealogy. I discovered another connection to the Jeffreys and the Franks family. It's not a direct connection, but I was hoping to find a link to these Franks and our mysterious Minerva Franks, my great grandmother. We have nothing on her parents or anyone from her family.
I discovered that way back, a daughter of Sarah Bishop and ....Jeffrey who came with the wagon train to Texas, had a daughter named Sarah Bishop Jeffrey who married Richard Cole. He wrote his autobiography and talks a bit about the Jeffreys and coming to Texas.
They had a daughter, Lucinda Cole, who married James M. Franks in Caldwell, Texas. I was hoping to find a connection with these Franks and Minerva who  married Jeremiah C. Jeffrey.

To make matters worse, I went to my gen program and it wouldn't open. I had just cleaned off my hard drive and moved some stuff to my external drive. I didn't think it would affect my programs. When I got it running again, it couldn't find the file I had created. I knew I had tons of backup and hadn't deleted them all. It took a while but I finally found it and everything is working again. now I just have to find the Media file with all the photos.
