Genealogy Jottings

We genealogists try to use family gatherings like Thanksgiving as an opportunity to glean family information from relatives. This year I hardly had time for that because I spent Thanksgiving weekend readying my father’s house for sale. Still, I did find a way to use my time productively for genealogy as well as disposing of furniture and household items. I found family correspondence, newspaper clippings, and scrapbooks stored in boxes and cupboards all over the house. These genealogical treasures, which I did not know existed, will take me a long time to sort and archive. Who knows what family history gem I will discover in the process?
