Genealogy

I have a cousin, John, in California.  Actually he is my mom's cousin and he knows a lot about my family's genealogy. 

Genealogy is something that fascinates me. 

My favorite story is about how I discovered that my SU! upline, Tina, is related to me.  Tina's husband's grandfather and my great-grandmother were brother & sister.  I never would have known about this if it wasn't for scrapbooking.

Another great story I have is that one of my scrapbooking friends, Patrice (who used to be just a customer and now I consider her a friend), lives in the house that my grandmother was born in.   If it wasn't for scrapbooking & stamping I would not have known her.  I have had the pleasure of spending time in this turn of the century farmhouse on several cold February nights, but inside it was warm & cozy.

My cousin John just posted some family history that I found intriguing.  It also has some pictures of my grandma (Winnie), mentions my great-grandma Alice (Tina's husband's great aunt), and has some great pictures of Patrice's house.  Here is a link. 

I couldn't resist.  This is my grandma and her sister and according to John's blog, this picture was taken in the 1940s.  I think I might have a copy of this one.  I have definelty seen it before.  My grandma is the one on the right.  She was the greatest.  I really need to start scrapbooking some heritage pictures.  Hmmm.....
