The Terwilliger Souvenir Album is being inventoried, one huge page at a time. It's a big Album, with many things on each page, and I want to do justice to it by detailing as much as I can. Sometimes I feel I've begun eating an elephant, so to speak! <br />As for helping with any advice, message me privately anytime on G+ and I'm happy to help in any way.

What a wonderful resource and gift from great grandfather! Are there more items in the Album that you will be posting in the future?<br /><br />Also, my wife was born in Toronto and her mother's family is from their for generations. I have only done a little research on her Jeffs family, but it is a future project for my sons. I might ask your advice on some approaches if you don't mind.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139639019457759712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022882827649802537.post-3100577924198345852013-01-06T14:24:23.340-08:002013-01-06T14:24:23.340-08:00Thanks Leita!

One never knows what people find interesting - so I "just write". As for the new header - I like doing one of those Wordles - the size of the font shows the number of direct ancestors in the family tree, and as you can see, some lines go back quite a ways!

I must say I do get very excited when I find items for my clients - items that I can't find for love nor money for my own family tree!

Over the years I have developed a special interest in using and indexing archival records that are overlooked by most family historians.
