We have been interested in learning about our ancestors for many years. There have been many people willing to share journals, letters, photographs and stories about our ancestors. Hildred once read a statement by a man who wrote, “If it is not written down, it didn’t happen”. We want our descendants to know about the people who made their lives possible and the choices they made that have made our lives better. Get to know them as real people with real lives heartaches, trials, joys, and successes.
