Seeing all those television ads for ancestry.com got me thinking about my own family genealogy. Of course, I’m referring to that monumental project I worked on in the late 1970’s and hadn’t looked at for decades. After navigating my way around the web site, I decided to rummage through the basement to find my musty boxes of photographs, ephemera and notes.
Here are a few long forgotten things I found:
I also found hand-written notes and amazing photographs from as far back as the 1880's.
Who entrusted me with all these treasures and when? Thank goodness I kept those tired, well-worn boxes with me through all my many moves. I've spent the last three days just totally absorbed. I hope I can finally honor that trust now. I'm going to finish what I started in 1977. Wish me luck, and, of course, I'll keep you posted.
Our family history is in good hands:)
