This weeks prompt "Lucky" I could not think of any of my ancestors that comes to mind when you say Lucky. But March 12rh is my father's birthday and he would have been 83 years old.
But being part of the family that he and my mother created make me lucky. I already have create a blog post a couple of years ago.
Patrick Joseph Barnum was born on 12 March 1940 in Rollingstone, Winona, Minnesota to Charles and Helen Condon Barnum. He spent most of his childhood in North St. Paul, Minnesota. Patrick was the 5th of six children. He had two brothers and three sisters.
My dad married Suzanne Marie Pierre on 19 Sept 1959 in St. Peter Catholic Church in North St. Paul, Minnesota. 
They had 6 daughters and on son.
Dad died on 27 June 2020 in Oakdale, Minnesota.
I was able to take a trip to Canada in the early 2000's to do research on his Loyalist Ancestor. We went to Sparta Elgin, Ontario, Canada and found were his ancestors lived and also were buried.
I am very lucky to been born into my family. Both my dad and mom have been the best parents.
