As I go through my Genealogy Do-Over, I’m also going through all those photos on my hard drives. Everything is getting organized this time!

It’s a blessing and a curse that Great-Grandma recorded so much about Grandpa’s early years. There is a lot to go through!

Treasure Chest Thursday is a Blogging Prompt used by the GeneaBloggers community to help bloggers come up with things to write about their ancestors. 

I’ve always known I am very lucky to have inherited a box of things from my Great-Grandmother Llewellyn. I could probably fill a whole year of Thursdays with posts about the many things that she un-intentionally passed down to me.
