I so look forward to reading about your family. Keep on writing. And keep on keeping the history of your family alive. We are searching for answers in our family history and because there's nothing written or recorded, there are huge gaps. My sister and I are in our 60s and are trying to find information about our grandmother's mother who probably died in childbirth. Everyone who might have had any information has died. We wish that we had asked more questions, labelled those family pictures, kept better records.
