(Image of Family Tree Chart from Fresh Retro Gallery)

 They're here!  A few weeks ago, I ordered four copies of blank family tree charts (pictured above) from the Etsy store Fresh Retro Gallery.  One is an heirloom gift for the son of a friend...celebrating his BIG first birthday this month!  One is four our home...one is for my parents...and the other is for, well, whoever wants it!  I fell in love with the tree design when searching online, and I was pleasantly surprised that Fresh Retro was offering a 2-for-1 deal.  SCORE!  At less than $15 each, I was more than happy to purchase four.  I can't wait to a) perfect my tree and b) perfect my calligraphy and add this tree to our family "Wall of Fame" (a work in progress).

Joining this tree on our Wall of Fame are two silhouettes of the boys that I ordered on Etsy last year (so southern, so vintage, so perfectly adorable).  I believe the artist who completed the silhouettes is not longer making them...but there are others on Etsy with similar products.  Loved the fact that she sent us .pdf copies of the images!

At any rate - LOVE the family tree charts.  You can find Fresh Retro Gallery's Etsy store HERE:

Not a paid review - just one that I'm happy to offer for an outstanding product!

Pay It Forward

A bit of joy for my Friday! Our mail delivery within our little military community here in Sicily is so.very.sloooooow.  What makes it maddening is that it can be a combination of super-fast and super-slow...so no one seems to balk at the trend of inconsistency.  Maybe I complain enough for everyone :). I'm in the middle of a few genealogical mysteries - one of them being the family origins of a Mr. Joseph W. Daly, a paternal great-grandfather of my husband.  Like most of the challenging parts of our tree, I hit a wall with Joseph a few months back and promptly put him aside when something a little more lucrative came along.  For sake of ease.  Now, we meet again.  For this one, I even consulted a few curious friends.  I felt like maybe I wasn't searching deep enough or with the right "keywords" online or in my genealogy search engines.  Some researchers have favored methodologies for searching, and I felt I needed to branch out.  One ...

Camp Butler - Newport News, Virginia

In my previous post I introduced my third great-grandfather - Hachaliah McMath, Jr. (1840-1916) - and his experience specifically at the end of the Civil war as a prisoner of war.  Context: Hachaliah McMath, Jr. is my 3rd great-grandfather on my father's maternal side of the family. After his capture in Farmville, Virginia following the Battle of Saylor's Creek, McMath was transferred to City Point, VA (Grant's headquarters) and then on to Newport News, Virginia.  From what I can determine, the Newport News area was occupied by Union troops for a large portion of the war.  Camp Butler was heavily fortified, as seen in the lithograph below - from the "Civil War in Newport News" collection of the Newport News Public Library System: Image Source From what I understand, the Prisoner of War camp was created alongside of Camp Butler to accommodate excess Confederate soldiers captured toward the end of the war.  Essentially - the POW camp in Newport News serve...
