What a beautiful top and bless you for wanting to find the story behind it. What a great adventure and a treasure to have.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Do you plan to finish it into a quilt?

I always make a pilgrimage to Paris when I'm back there to visit relatives. The huge fountain in the city square is a favorite spot, too...

Try contcting the local Quilt guild, or the library or the historical society for the names. Another source would be the local newspaper...perhaps a short human interest article....As a family genealogist you have a lot of clues..the hunt will be fun...let us know...

No plans so far... The attention has been so surprising... I think I'll just sit tight and wait a bit before deciding what to do next...
