(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 ...

Lingering Questions...

 There is a huge, genealogical elephant in my living room.   Every so often, he nudges me with his trunk, he asks for fresh water, and bats his long eyelashes at me in hopes that I will scratch behind his giant elephant ears. My theory about family history research is that nothing is as cut and dry as it seems at first.   Dig a little deeper – search a few newspaper archives – and you’ll either make your particular research question a) more complicated, or b) exceptionally clear in a way you never expected. By the time I actually his “POST” on this article, I will most likely have re-written it several times.   This elephant is giant.   HUGE.   Effecting the way an entire branch of my family will view its identity – even its surnames.   I’m putting on kid gloves.   But most importantly – I want to outline for my extended family and my future family exactly how I arrived at my present hypothesis.   I feel deeply convicted that ...

Chicken or Duck?

I'm feeling a little scattered these days.  Could be the breezy Fall weather - a wonderful sight after three long years in Sicily's arid climate.  Instead of olive and blood orange trees, I'm gazing out of my kitchen window appreciating our collection of hardwoods.  Leaves are everywhere, and the piles are only going to get bigger.  I am treasuring every last one. My research brain is also a bit scattered.  A little genetic genealogy over here...a little "other people's genealogy" over there.  Most of this is flat-out procrastination from dealing with the pile of photos I need to archive and the folder of newly-located probate records to transcribe.  There's also that little thing of needing to manage my household.  Oh, and clean.  And feed children :). In the meantime, I stumbled upon a snippet from the Reading Times (A Web Footed Chicken (1890, August 4).  The Reading Times , p. 1.  Retrieved from www.newspapers.com)). Sar...
