Oh, sweet! That must have been a FUN box to go through! That little purse is cute, so dainty!

Isn't it great when you get family memories.

How cool is that.

Wow. You must feel so overwhelmed! Put white gloves on before you touch any of the paper. I am not teasing! The oils from your hands is not good for the paper. Historians would bang your door down to get one glimpse of what you found. If you are not familiar with old old very old paper please research it or something. If you need a contact who has been doing it a very long time please send me a pm and I will do my best to put you in contact with him.
You have a treasure chest in your possession. I am so happy for you. Goodness. /Regards, Dorothy

Family treasures are wonderful! I'm certain they will be cherished.

How special it is to have YOU find the treasures - too many people just don't appreciate things like that. You will give it the attention it deserves.

WOW! That gives me chicken skin! (goose bumps). The purse is beautiful! Better get some insurance on that stuff! And pics for the safe. This stuff is priceless....

Until 6 months ago, I didn't even know my grandparent's parent's names.......By accident I ran across my grandmother's REAL name and from there it's gone wild. Why my mother kept everything secret from me, I'll never know.

Do you have any contact with a family member that might know any of the family history?

Wow, what a great surprise.
