From and To

As a genealogist in America, much of my research is focused on my ancestors’ countries of origin. From whence did they come?

Researchers on the other side of the pond are also curious about the “to”.

My husband has been helping a Norwegian genealogist learn more about his emmigrant ancestors’ lives in America.

For my small part, I located their final resting places.

And let them know someone in the old country was thinking about them.

      As are you! I’m impressed by your efforts to reconnect belongings to the families from whence they came. I would be over the moon if I learned of an ancestor’s photo somewhere in the universe. Thank you for all you do.
