My mother's old "maid"(I shutter) did all the family research on that side in the 60-70's. Tracing back to the Magna Carta, three Barons. It was not so easy-Yes everything was saved in that house. Mother has some lovely papers going quite far back.(the penmanship outstanding)P.Gaye Tapp at Little Auguryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115534755711063462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-85328377686508737182010-04-24T13:28:53.685-04:002010-04-24T13:28:53.685-04:00pve, Kentucky is gorgeous country-Lexington.

The children and grandchildren, even if they are interested in family history, have great difficulty in finding out where grandma was born and what grandpa did during the war.<br /><br />I would love a family crest like you have shown, or family portraits dated from Edwardian times (let alone earlier). I wish ancestors wrote names and dates on the back of photos and paintings.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-68160058745531059262010-04-24T05:55:38.166-04:002010-04-24T05:55:38.166-04:00We would have fun visiting Cave Hill in Kentucky.
