I finally have 1944 letters done! However, I don’t have room in my filing box. I’ll have to go get another one.

I’m finishing up sorting the envelopes by year. I have a pile of “unclassifiables”, things that aren’t dated. A couple of telegrams, some cards that must have been given in-person because they’re not addressed (or one that is addressed but not stamped), two envelopes from 1942, and one from 1941 and 1947 (this one addressed to… Continue reading Family history project day 2

I have yet to come up with a catchy name for my project. When I do come up with a name I will start a separate blog, but for now I’m going to document here. A few years ago my aunt let me have a handful of letters that were written between my grandparents while… Continue reading Family history project
