Ancestors

NO, these are not OUR ancestors, but they do belong to relatives.  My husband has cousins he had not seen since 1958 when they came from the west coast to WY to visit his family.  The main recollection was that he or his brothers put grasshoppers in their beds.  Sounds about right as there were 4 boys at the time. These two sisters had traveled to a dog show in MO and were on their way home when they stopped and were able to spend a couple of days with us.  These gorgeous dogs are Angie, Summer and Bob (not in that order above...they all look so similar) and he is the one that was in the show.  But the really neat thing about this visit was the fact that these two gals were bringing so much ancestry information to the Mr.  His brother lives here also and he was able to come and visit with them.  The Mr. had 4 brothers and of their children, there is only one male to carry on the name at the present. In addition, of all of the previous generation's children, there may not be many.  It is so important to have this information documented and the search continues.  The old pictures and letters that have been discovered are fascinating.  We so enjoyed their visit and with 6 dogs and a cat in the house, we did just fine!!!
