Hello List Since we are on this subject. What about mourning jewelery. My husband has a necklace that is made out of hair with a locket. It belonged to his aunt who was a nun. It was one of the few possessions she left. There are photos in the locket and we are believing this is her father and mother. I was also told you can write to the Order she belonged to and recieve information on her. Has anyone have information about this. Thank you.

Wondering how many of you have experienced this? In my families personal collection we have one of my grandfather's brother. He left home and hadn't been seen until he died which was about 10-15 years later. They wanted a picture to remember him by. This was in the 30's or 40's Here are a couple of websites for those of you who are interested. http://ame2.asu edu/projects/haunted/ISA%20index/book%20of%20the%20dead/book%20of%20the%20dea %20photos.htm http://billblanton.com/pm.htm Apparently it was very common way back when.
