Treasure trove!!

These are all pictures of my ancestors! My cousin visited today and brought me two albums full of photos, plus a small heap of cabinet cards (only a few of which are shown above). I have happily spent the afternoon scanning and photocopying what I might be able to use in 'the book' or in the next one (written by the original's son). There were also a number of family photos from my dads life (some of him when he was a young man) and some from my generation. To say I'm thrilled is the understatement of the year!!

  3. The history behind old photos. I love it. Sadly, my parents' old photos are long gone. Lucky you.

  4. Lucky you MA--what are cabinet cards?
    We probably know them as something else.

  5. Love old pics like this. BTW have you been to shutterfly.com to check out putting a book together? I've heard it's great.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
