Did one of your female ancestors leave a diary, journal, or collection of letters? Share an entry or excerpt.My Grandma has a collection of letters that she and my Grandpa wrote back and forth while my grandpa was in the Army during World War II. I have never read them.
This is my thoughts, experiences, and tips I have learned through my research on my own family history as well as my steps and process that I have taken in my research. I hope that my experiences are helpful to my readers and help them continue their own genealogy searches. I hope to provide some insight as well as some humor.

I hope you get the chance to read them. I have 25 that my ggg grandparents wrote during the civil war, and they are such a treasure.
ReplyDeleteI think my Dad has the letters and as far as I know my Grandma wants them destroyed after she dies. I have to respect her wishes even though it breaks my heart to do it.
