it's learn about your family history for whimsical wednesday. talk to your oldest relative, look at old photographs, read about your family name online. however you wish to learn new (or renew) family history. any part or all of your family is open to examination.
my father's oldest living sister died several years ago. dad ended up with a huge envelope of photos and such from her house. dad never looked at them before he died and mom never has either. i brought them home with me determined to take a peek. i must confess that i hadn't looked since bringing them home two years ago. today was the perfect opportunity to delve into that family history. when i was seven my parents moved us away from most of the family to live elsewhere. my siblings and i didn't grow up knowing most of the family of either of our parents. my aunt's overstuffed, very large, envelope yielded photos of cousins, aunts and uncles, my grandparents, and people i didn't know.
