Maude's daughter, Virginia (I think this is her name), married my grandma's brother. They later divorced. I went to see the Titanic exhibit in Grand Rapids, MI yesterday, 2/10/13. I find this story absolutely amazing and continue to look for books that have more information about her. Thanks for referencing a book above. I will see if I can get it through my local library. Not sure where she resided in her later years, but I was disappointed to hear she only passed in 1984. I graduated from high school in 1985 and would have loved to meet her to hear her story.

• I really like this picture, it is of my great-great grandmother. I really wish there were more of her though. I've searched all over her, read every available biography of her and I've still only come up with 2 pictures.

I am on the Maritime Committee of the Keweenaw County Historical Society. We are sponsoring a program April 2,2012, 7 pm at the Portage Lake District Library where we are having a reception for descendants and slide programs. If by chance you get this in time please call the library and leave a message for Chris Alquist. I will write to the email above. The date of the sinking was April 15 morning, not the 17th as stated herein. The library has a photo book about Maude.

• Ms. Sincock Roberts is a relative on my father side. I had the privilege of meeting her and was always impressed by her spirit and determination. She would tell her Titanic tale and I always came away that feeling she had a fierce inner strength. Great lady.
