I have two main goals: identify individuals in the photos so we can attach them on the FamilySearch website, and assemble a family tree of Great-grandmother Cerie&#8217;s Swedish relatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have found a lot of incidental treasures in the process: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A collection of squares of toilet paper from various countries throughout Europe from 1957. These vary in quality and composition, ranging from waxed paper to gritty and rough-ridged. Strange souvenirs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A lengthy journal which described a long journey from California to Sweden, only to be almost silent about the relatives they visited there.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A photograph of a great-great-great grandmother that I do not recognize. She is merely labeled, &#8220;Mormor,&#8221; which means maternal grandmother.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Menus from the Swedish American Line from 1957 with artwork so beautiful that I framed them to display in my house.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hair samples of loved ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A scrapbook of sensational stories and pictures from newspapers from 100 years ago, highlighting the cute, macabre, and cultural. I think of this book as &#8220;Cerie&#8217;s Pinterest boards.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a big puzzle, and I have spent many hours studying, reading, and cataloguing these things. It is incredibly slow work. I have learned that in 100 years, when your great-grandchild is sorting through your photos, she will not know the identities of your close loved ones. Please, label your photos with care, including first and last names and locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a temporary workspace set up in Paige&#8217;s empty bedroom where I am sorting through family history documents and photos.
