I have my mother's book and have connected to a distant cousin by sending a Christmas card to an elderly relative and heard back from their neighbor that she and her husband were deceased. But, the neighbor was their Executor, and wondered if I would like a box of family photos as their grandchildren did not want them. <br />Well, YES, I want them. Received large box of their family photos and much information. So tracked down a cousin using the information.

I even found she had written her third husband's birthplace in Italy inside the front cover. Since he'd changed his name, that clue broke open his Italian lineage and helped me identify several descendants. You never know what you'll find. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
