One of my goals this year is to get our pictures out of boxes and back into our lives using the simplified scrapbooking system designed by Becky Higgins...I invite you to take a look inside a journey I call Project Past Life
***** We've started sorting the next box and made a wonderful discovery. We found some official looking paperwork mixed in with the photos. When I read it I discovered a piece of history about my Grandmother that my mom had mentioned to me once or twice but I had never seen any proof of. The attending nurse who was at the birth of my grandmother took it upon herself to name my grandmother Olga Burgess. Where this name came from no one knows but they didn't like it. My Great Grandfather had to dictate a letter and have it notorized to say they did not name her and had been calling her by the name Winifred. As I'm going through these pictures, I'm starting to think I may need to figure out a way to divide them up so each of my kids can have some of their family history to take with them when they finally go out on their own. Project Past Life is turning into quite an amazing journey and it only promises to get better. |
