How neat that you are keeping a family record! I have an aunt who research ours back to the 1600's and I consider it a treasure.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for your comment on my post. No, I don't have any undeveloped film. I love all our old pictures. Family is the heart of who we are.
Ps. It's neat to see you are from Ashland!
