Postcards from the Past
I’ve already posted a couple of postcards either that I have or was asked to do some research on. This next one is one that I have, but it’s a gift. Just not sure which Nephew to give it to as they both like fishing! And I do have to say truer words have never been spoken before. It could also be said for women who crochet! lol So it’s a recent postcard. It was sent in 1980, hence I have blocked out the name and address of the couple it went to.

In this time of Isolation
We are all affected by the Covid-19 Crisis and I hope you and your family are doing all they can to keep safe. For many families this is a time to get all those tasks done that you haven’t wanted to do and put off because you didn’t have the time. Yes I include myself in that group. But this is also a chance for people to do those things that they have wanted to do but haven’t had the opportunity because they have been so busy. For my birthday my Boyfriend, RJ, gave me a book called “A Recipe for Writing Family History”. He’s awesome and I love him…

More Projects
I also find postcards or old photos that have things written on the back with names and hopefully dates. I search out who that person might be and do a write up about them.

Heraldry
Well Google defines heraldry as the system by which coats of arms and other armorial bearings are devised, described, and regulated. "A. No. There is no such thing as a 'coat of arms for a surname'."

How my Journey Started
I started my journey into Genealogy and Family History in 1999. It was late in the year, November or December, and I was searching for information on my maternal grandfather and his family.
