Some chapeau huh?
I have been working on my family tree since I was a teenager and would record my Italian grandparents stories and share family photos. It is something I have always been fascinated by. It is kind of like putting together a puzzle and making sure everything fits.
Since September 17th, I have an even larger family thanks to Andy & Ashley's wedding!
The woman in the photo above is named Amy Wilson Ross
and she is Ashley's second Great-Grandmother.
Isn't she a beauty?
This is her husband, George Clark Matson -
Ashley's second Great-Grandfather.
Above is a "selfie" taken in the 1870's. Such a handsome couple.
Then they had children.....
and her sister moved in....
Mama is looking pretty good still but dad is losing his spark.
They had 3 more children after this was taken.
Just imagine that photo!
A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.
