I still want to learn much more about my background, and plan to do some research within the next year.<br />One of my cousins did some research a while back and went through some of her Mom's old items (made a big scrapbook). One of the items is an actual newspaper clipping telling about Lincoln's Gettysburg Address! I was amazed! :)CatMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985658721138526298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-37570121069062176292014-05-21T09:50:43.645-07:002014-05-21T09:50:43.645-07:00My paternal grandparents emigrated from Russia nea...My paternal grandparents emigrated from Russia near the turn of the century even though they were of German descent.

My husband came ...The first one and the fifth one?<br /><br />My husband came with a book! A hardback book at least 100 pages and inside is his family tree dating back two centuries. Unfortunately, most of it is in a language I cannot read. His oldest brother is mentioned but not my husband. The book was published two years before he was born.<br /><br />We also have an unusual last name (my maiden name is Tracy; my married name is Osback). When we go on vacations, my husband looks for phone books and if he finds an Osback, he calls. They can almost always figure out how they're related.

One thing I learned while helping my mom research her father's side of the family is to label the back of the photos I take with where it was taken, the date, and who is in the picture. Some of my grandmother's photos have unknown persons in them. We sure wish we knew who they were. <br /><br />Surprises? Those walks through cemeteries revealed children that had died as infants and were never mentioned in family records.

I asked while my parents were alive, but they didn't know much either. But...on my hubby's side, wow! My m-i-l wrote a whole book with photos dating back to 1700s. <br /><br />The most surprising thing, was the pic of a great great grandfather with an earring in his ear. I guess fads come full circle. :)Sandra Orchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236883194496601011noreply@blogger.com
