I'm blessed to have so many pictures. Particularly those on my father's side that go back so far thanks to the efforts of my cousin, Laura, who has been researching the family genealogy.

How far back can you trace your roots? Do you have any pictures of your ancestors?

  7. This is awesome! I had pictures of my two grandmothers and my father's grandmothers, but they vanished during one of my many moves in the US. I wish I still had those pics. It's wonderful to know your ancestors. It gives you a better idea of "who" you are if you know who they were.
