Egg on my face...

I’ve returned from a trip to Albany and Troy, NY, where I spent time researching some of the early Zander family mysteries.

One of those mysteries was the parents of James and Ruth’s granddaughter Ophelia I. Zander.

I was sure her father was one of their sons – her name was Zander after all – but was I wrong, wrong, wrong! She may have adopted the last name of Zander but her parents’ names were Isaiah and Betsey (Zander) McKibbin. Betsey was James and Ruth’s oldest daughter.
