After a false start occasioned by her computer crashing, I have connected in earnest with the cousin who found me because I posted the family names I am researching. She has lots of family photos and has been generously scanning and sending them to me. I am so excited to have faces to put to so many of the names in my family, and I was able to send her a photo of her great-great-grandmother, which she did not have. She has also identified some of the photos I have without names. I need to start scanning more and see who else she can recognize! I already posted one of the photos she sent me for this past Wordless Wednesday, but wanted to share more. These are some of my favorites. **doing the happy dance**
Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.
