No, this is NOT an advertisement … but I found a distant relative’s old book on Azzzzzzzzzzzzzz … you get it.

My great-grandparents (mother’s side) were missionaries in western China from the 1880’s through the mid 1930’s. This guy is related to me and them (documented in my mother’s genealogy).

“Missionary Education in India” … published in 1909. Yes, I bought it. Astounding 🆒
