Ancestors

I've been veeeeery excited about tracing my family history on my father's side lately. There's simply so much to unearth and discover, and I'm a sucker for a good mystery. I regret not asking more questions while my dad and grandparents were still alive, so now I'm left to work with what remains.

My aunt sent me this photo, which was sent to her by a distant cousin in Denmark. I have no idea who the people in the photograph are, but just seeing my ancestors made my heart skip a beat.

Look at those shoes! And the spinning wheel! And the cottage! And everything!

I'm not sure why, but there's something very comforting about knowing where I came from.
