But sometimes, treasures can show up in the most unexpected places. I'm constantly learning of new resources from others who have found them--and are not shy about sharing their discoveries!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-11232044928568603182015-02-03T22:33:12.502-08:002015-02-03T22:33:12.502-08:00That must have been some fishing club!

Even if those historic newspaper collections don't reveal much more than what an ancestor had for Sunday dinner, I still consider it a valuable find. Such are the details that help us see our ancestors in a more three-dimensional way.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-20222008487433898642015-02-02T21:12:23.926-08:002015-02-02T21:12:23.926-08:00I found some great old postcards online and will h...I found some great old postcards online and will have to go to the Historical Museum to see if I can take photos of them.

I've been looking - and for most part, they lived in "no-wheres-ville" and were dirt poor farmers on one side of the family. My dad's family on the other hand, was "written up" annually in a Church related "fishing trip".<br /><br />https://books.google.com/books?id=SNsRAAAAYAAJ for example.
