A creative newsletter exploring the little bits of thread that make up my life—family history, storytelling, art, photography, and the quiet moments that inspire creativity.
I loved the story of your ancesters which I never knew. But, I did know your name was Russian. I, also, loved the great photography. I have heard that many people from other countries fled to America due to religious persecution. My great-grandparents came here in the 1800's from Germany but I don't know the specific reeason they left Germany. Our ancestry is fascinating. I think you know that Kim LOVED ancestry.com and for many years.
I absolutely love the process of discovering the stories of the people before us, it’s just fascinating to dive down that hole and discover these little hidden gems. I love printing out the census reports from Ancestry, stacking them in order and seeing the facts of their lives in that moment. I actually wished Kim and I had talked more about this! I would have invited her on an “ancestry” date, we could have both worked on our research but hung out in real time while we did it.
