You won't believe what I got today. I've been doing genealogy research on my family and my mother said she had a box of "stuff". I'm thinking pictures. Well, today I got the box and not only were there pictures in it, but there was 3 things in there that blew my mind!
1)a notebook with original pages from a family bible, birth certs, death certs, and marriage certs (for my GGGGranfather and his wife) 2) a woven spread -- and a note that says "my mother carded, spun and wove this spread right after the civil war", signed Rebecca Davis Webb (my GGGGrandmother).....WOW!!!! And it also had a handful of homemade linens...I don't know anything about linens, so I've got to research... 3) But best of all -- this woven glass beaded purse!!! Now THIS is what I call a haul!!!! :mrgreen: |
what a gift!
|
Man, what a great haul! You struck gold with that box.
|
You really hit the mother lode today!!! Congratulations :D:D:D
|
Wow, that was a great find.
|
Amazing!!! To be able to have information going back that far is truly a gift. And to have a woven spread, linen, and a purse is truly a treasure. Lucky you!!
|
You are truly fortunate :mrgreen: Most of the time things like that are disposed of as "trash"
Glad you got it |
