...for pictures, etc. of home, school, church, family to pair with blog posts. My hope is to bring these people to life, show how they related to one another, turning the puzzle pieces into a real picture of our family's past. Once the names become familiar, and the stories of who their neighbors were, where they fell on the timeline of things, who accompanied them to war, who was their pastor, their neighbor, their friend - a bigger picture will take shape. I'll share websites and research materials to help tell the story & show that these stories are not just someone's imagination?

This the Place where they lived and died...

On these pages I hope to add extra content - pictures, etc. of home, school, church, family that will pair with blog posts. My hope is to bring these people to life.  And perhaps, how they related to one another will begin to be less of a newly opened puzzle as well. Once the names become familiar, and the stories of who their neighbors were, where they fell on the timeline of things, who accompanied them to war, who was their pastor, their neighbor, their friend - a bigger picture will unfold as you recognize them by name. What tragedies befell them that also affected another family, and what are the websites and research materials that help me to see all this is not just someone's imagination?  This is the place where the content will be for the family blog, http://theycametothemountains.blogspot.com/ .  For cemetery content see:
