March is Women's History Month

Lisa Alzo has suggested daily blogs to celebrate Women's History Month. http://www.theaccidentalgenealogist.com/2011/02/back-by-popular-demand-fearless-females.html  I hope to participate in as many of the thirty-one suggestions as I have time for.  Back in the 1800s and before, the women in the family are hard to track because they lost their identity once they married.  So often I have found listings for Mrs. "first and surname of husband"  I am looking forward to this project.
