I loved reading about the process and imagine most of us can identify with that nostalgic time in our families.

She had kept a hanky box I had made for her when I was about 11...and now I am almost 65...although Mum died twenty years ago. We also found my sister's christening gown tucked away in the back of one of the drawers. Our Dad died in 1957 so Mum had been alone for a long time...but the best thing is that my muttley and I now live in the granny flat! One of our daughters along with her husband and three boys are living in the family home that Muttley was brought home to as a baby.

I know how hard it is to sort out a parent's home as I did it for my mum when we moved her to a care home but there are treasures and memories to lighten and reward the task. I hope you are able to find out more about your family but how good to have found your grandmother's grave. Enjoy your teaching.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223691871102821084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-52149978496458267492013-06-20T00:13:35.291-04:002013-06-20T00:13:35.291-04:00Greetings, Rayna!

Sounds like there's a lot of good stuff in the mix. <br />I had a fair amount of luck locating my maternal grandmother in the Ellis Island archives, she even came in with her own last name (Fuchs -- which she changed to Fox). But that's the only thing I was ever able to find on any of my relatives.<br />Have a great teaching trip!<br />Much love.Cate Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079028386218370915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-50236662901805450112013-06-19T19:42:56.560-04:002013-06-19T19:42:56.560-04:00i found my mom and grandma on the Ellis Island sit...i found my mom and grandma on the Ellis Island site but not with their last name but with the last name of the relative who sponsored them. looks like that was a usual practice. they had to have a sponsor to come to the US and that is the name they listed on the manifest. sounds like you found some treasures.deanna7treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707505639796548961noreply@blogger.com
