I would really like to hear from you!

Let me know if you think you have a family connection, or family stories or photographs to share. As you will see at the end of some stories, I have reached a brick wall and have been unable to determine whether there are descendants and ‘cousins’ who may be living in another parts of the world.

In some cases I have original family photographs that ancestors gave to my great-grandmother. If there are descendants of those families out there, I’d like to know so that the photos can be returned.

If you have photos or stories to share, none will be used without your permission, and will be acknowledged. Or, if you prefer your identity not be posted online, your wish will be respected. and ‘anonymous’ will be credited and we can continue our discussion via our personal emails.

No photos or stories about living people will be used.

Suggestions and comments about this blog are also appreciated.

I can be reached at theirownstories@gmail.com
