My children are having a much different childhood. I know a couple of our neighbors, but we don't "hang out." I miss that sense of a small community. It was comforting as a child. Don't really know how to replace that for my own kids!

So admire you for the research you have done and how you are connected with family members. I know I said that before, but I do admire you. We shredded so many pictures from hubby's side because we just didn't know. I'm an advocate now to make pictures and tell stories on them, hoping someone in future generations may care.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
