Memorable Family Treasures



One of the nicest gifts that our families can leave us is pictures of themselves, places they have been and other family members, such as group photos. Sometimes all three are in one photograph.

Just about everyone in the United States tends to find an ancestral line that leads us back to the "Old World". Some may find they hold a very distant relationship with British Royalty. Some may even go as far back as Charlemagne or even further. Being a history buff, I tend to pause in my research sometimes to find out what was going on when so and so was living.
