"We all grow up with the weight of history on us. Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies." ~Shirley Abbott
If you are interested in old diaries, please check out my other blog, Addie's Sojourn, where I am posting transcriptions of the diary of an American woman who lived in France from 1889 to 1890.
I welcome comments from readers. Please leave a comment here or email me at lovelandfamilyhistory@gmail.com.
Please note that any ads here are via wordpress.com, not me. Wordpress users don't see ads at all, so I don't know the extent, much less the content.
