Dale (my third cousin) and Debi Parrott
We arrived midday at the Western Horizons Resort just South of Monticello, IN, on Thursday. Then on Friday morning, we left about 7 AM, to travel 90 miles North to Lakeville, IN to meet my 4th cousin Terry and his wife Sharon for breakfast.
Through my ancestry research, we have been communicating for several months, but this is the first time that we have met in person.
After breakfast we spent the day going to cemeteries and visiting locations, that our ancestors had lived in the Goshen, IN area.
Sharon had the whole day planned out for us, which made it really nice, and Terry did the driving, while we enjoyed getting acquainted as we traveled.
We are in the midst of Amish country, and every few miles, we would meet a carriage or see work going on in the fields. Click here to see some photos of our adventures.
About 4:30, Dale Parrott and his wife Debi, met us for dinner, at the Essenhaus Restaurant, which is a must if you are in the area. This was also our first meeting with Dale and he is my third cousin.
After dinner, we took a tour of the Notre Dame campus, and arrived back at the campground a little after 11 PM
