Russ Worthington (Cousin Russ), R.I.P.

17 May 2022 2:46 PM | Anonymous

Hundreds (perhaps thousands) of people knew Russ Worthington. He perhaps was better known as Cousin Russ.

I was amongst the many who knew and admired Cousin Russ. He seemed to be at all the genealogy conferences, helping others in the Family Tree Maker booth. When he wasn't in the booth, he was usually someplace else helping someone with a question they had.

I spent the last hour trying to write my thoughts about Cousin Russ. I failed. Then I found a eulogy written by Geoff Rasmussenin the Legacy Genealogy News web site that said everything I could not think of. I suggest you read Geoff's article at: https://news.legacyfamilytree.com/legacy_news/2022/05/cousin-russ-well-miss-you-and-thank-you.html.

    As I said in response to Geoff's eulogy, like many, I "met" and "knew" Russ through Dear Myrtle. So very sad to hear of his passing. I like to think Russ, ever the genealogist, is now doing his search in a different, and yes better, place, where there are no brick walls and he has unlimited access to original sources. A happy and much-deserved place for him to be, as sad as it is for us.
