If I ever have an opportunity to write in another autograph book I am going to write that. I think my own was lost somewhere through the years but I do have my greatgrandmother's. And yes, Pearly is beautiful and looks nice too.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610655125390402869.post-51550278390092195312009-05-22T03:27:48.920-05:002009-05-22T03:27:48.920-05:00I have a copy of a letter written by an ancestress...I have a copy of a letter written by an ancestress in 1835. Of course there are no photos or paintings of her, but I imagine her to be quite beautiful from her penmanship and choice of words.<br /><br />On the other hand, a ggm whom I'd only seen in a few snapshots as a bent and wrinkled 80-something, turned out to be drop-dead gorgeous at 35 and 40!Harold's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07105616709661027188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610655125390402869.post-15993075217084526072009-05-21T06:05:14.901-05:002009-05-21T06:05:14.901-05:00She is captivating!

I LOVE Genealogy.. I have done quite a bit of Family History since I retired in 2003. <br /><br />The stories are so interesting.. And about beauty???? Since they never smiled in pictures (and sometimes looked almost mad) it's hard to know where the 'physical' beauty was!!!! I do have some handsome uncles on my mother's father's side. AND --my Great Grandfather was quite handsome. I'm sure that ALL of them had lots of inner beauty.<br /><br />Please come back to my blog --and I'll keep checking yours out. <br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.com
