Since my brother passed away very unexpectedly last month, it has made me realize you just never know and we need to pass on to our children any information we can about previous generations.
I have decided that at least once a month I am going to post pictures of previous generations with a little background on each person, so that my children, grandchildren, nieces, and great nieces and their families will have a permanent record that they can always come to if they want to know some more about their ancestors.
