Parenting & Families
Description: This book is in color.. In About 2005 a large box of photos, letters and other documents relating to our mother's family became available. The material covers relatives who lived in the years since immigration in the mid 1800s. There was a concern that this material would be eventually lost. This material was converted to an easily replicated form that could be distributed to family members. This meant scanning each photo and other forms of documentation. Photos and documents that were creased, spotted or otherwise in degraded condition were processed with Photoshop to gain the best presentation possible. Any text or identification material was included. To connect the people in the photos with the family, decadency charts were constructed. Census records were consulted to help make connections where other data was lacking.
