Jim Wilson shared "Unexpected Tidbits," another example of serendipitous finds that often follow family historians.
George showed us a "German Village Welcome" his family experienced when visiting his mother's ancestral home.
Kristin recalled a few treasures - rocks, miniature porcelain shoes, husbands - collected by her grandmother.
Dixie shared stories from her grandfather to remind us it's the "Little Things Mean a Lot."
Brian offered insight into his ancestor, "Loyalist Moses Dunbar: A Tragedy meant for a Poet's Pen."
