Family History Treasures

I talked in a earlier post about some things I came across while looking through my grandma's things at my moms.  I talked about her WWII ration card and an old purse her father bought from New York in the 1800's.  In my recent trip to Utah I took a picture of them.  Man, my grandma has so many things that need to be preserved.  My sisters and I have been talking about going to my parents to help my mom go through it all.  I am excited to see what else there is!





Sewn inside the bag by my grandma: "This bag my father got in New York 1858"
