As I was doing my research I sat and wondered what their lives were like. I could imagine them gathered around the tree at Christmas time singing carols and drinking warm egg nog. I was lucky enough to come across a web site where a family member had posted some of these lovely treasures and gave permission for anyone to use them, after all isn't that was genealogy is all about?

I hope you enjoy your treasure hunting.

God Bless
