Hello, I would like to invite you to join the heirloom_legacies mailing list. The description of this mailing list is: This is a list for those of us who have been entrusted with the ecletic heirlooms that have been passed down in our families. We will explore the ancestral and ethnic origins , age of, and the kind of said heirlooms and try to pinpoint where they came from and how old they might be. For instance, I have a Levant Waist Sash < of Turkish /Portuguese origin > that has been in my family for over four hundred years. The Sash has it's ethnic roots in the Levant section of the Mediterranean . It is quite a mystery how it lasted, still intact within my family for over 400 years. My family are of Melungeon / 'Portyghee' ancestry. Please join us in posting your own stories about the unusual artifacts that have been entrusted to you by your family for safe keeping through the ages. Hopefully we will try to uncover the mysteries of our family legacies. Scholars are most welcomed to subscribe , as well anyone else who would like to know a little bit more about our unique familial historical artifacts; no matter what they might be.
