How Did Your Genealogy Journey Begin?
I’ve often wondered how others began their Genealogy and Family History journey. Was it an event in your life that started you on this pursuit? Was there something that happened along the way to cause you to pursue this Genealogy life? Did something happen to peak your interest in this journey?
For me, it was seeing the photograph below on my grandmother’s wall. I was about 7 years old and I still remember the first time I saw it. I remember asking my grandmother who this woman was in the picture. Unfortunately, it would take me almost forty years to discover the true identity of this woman.

Family Heirlooms: My Great Grandmother's Purse
Can I just say that I LOVE when family treasures find their way back to me? This one doesn't disappoint!
Recently my Great Grandmother's purse found its way to me. The contents of this purse are amazing to me. The treasures and memories contained within this purse I hold dearly.
A few of the scandalous letters in this purse are surely the plot of books and movies.
Slowly I am making my way through each letter, picture, and document. I'm working on making sense of each letter and why these were held so dearly by her. Why did these particular items make their way into her purse? Why did she warrant these important enough to group together?
It's a fun journey as each piece of this puzzle unfolds. Its also a glimpse into her life. The secret parts of her life. The parts no one, perhaps, knew. The parts that somehow (and for some reason) found their way to me.
