My Favorite Photo
I am selectively choosing prompts from 52 Ancestors and especially like this week's prompt which is My Favorite Photo! It is this great picture of my grandparents, taken around 1970. It is always on my refrigerator so I can see them and sometimes "talk" to them!
Review of 2019
Well, I had one post in 2019. That is hard to believe. I had some great finds in 2019, mostly from Ancestry.com. And I began researching my brother-in-law's family at my sister's request.
In September of last year, my long-lost cousin and I spent a weekend together, at my home with our husbands, that was absolutely wonderful. We had not seen each other since around 1960 maybe? I had been searching for her since about 1994. She found me (!) on Ancestry in 2018. When she arrived at my house, I was able to give her her father's childhood missal with his name written in it that I had found among my mother's belongings. Her father died in 1963, so it was quite a touching moment to finally lay it in her hands! We really had a good time with them and hope to see more of them.
So, my goal for 2020? Well, that's an obvious one! I need to blog more! I'll start with a post today!
