Sneaking Past The Editor

Yesterday the Chicago Tribune had a charming story about a tombstone unearthed in Joliet, IL, a tombstone of a 2 year old girl who died in 1852. Gina Wysocki, an expert on 19th Century burials, took an interest:

Wysocki made another extraordinary find: Living descendants of Baby "Jenete" in Iowa not only knew of her brief life, but had been searching for her burial site for decades.

Now that is truly extraordinary - descendants of a girl who died at 2!

In the print edition, the paper had 2 photos of living relatives, both labeled as descendants.

She may be their great great aunt.
But can they be descendants? No, they can't.
