Spent the weekend with my sister and some aunts, pouring through suitcases full of old photographs, letters and pedigree charts. These handsome folks are my Great-Great-Grandfather, Charles and his lovely wife, Edith; the picture is circa 1900 (awesome!). The smaller picture is their two children, Gerrit and Virginia, circa 1920. How cool are those? I am totally enamored with them. It is so amazing to learn about your family - don't know much about your family history? Call a relative! Or check out FamilySearch - its free.
And amidst all this we squeezed in some time to make some apricot jam, of course.Hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as we did ours!
cool pictures! I just framed Anderson's uncles picture. (He was killed in ww2) I've fallen in love with knowing about Anderson's ancestry that eventually I would love to go to Japan and get some Geneology and Temple work done.
