Hi Vee and All, Speaking of the heirlooms, I had something wonderful happen this week. My cousin's wife up in Tuscola Co. MI has asked me to help assist her with another line of my family. My grandparents were married there in 1906. In 1911 their house burnt and all of the wonderful memories were destroyed - or so I thought until this week. Lucy sent me a pic of my grandparents on their wedding day. Her 92 year old mother-in-law found it in a album that had belonged to my grandpa's sister! We were thrilled beyond words! Had it not been for family genealogy, no matter which branch on the trees we would not have obtained this wonderful picture! So every little morsel is important to someone! I have also discovered by taking pictures of gravesites helps the next generation avoid tromping for hours on end looking for gravesites like I did. The diary is a wonderful addition to your family! How lucky you are! Jane in FL
