New documents

I cleaned out my mother's desk this weekend, taking another half box of genealogy notes and old letters. Included were my grandfather's discharge papers from the Army in WW II and a copy of my 2x great grandfather's will.

Now I just have to get another four-drawer file cabinet, so I can sort all the papers into folders by family. Freecycle here I come.

Also, a few weeks ago, I received the photocopies of the transcripts of my 3x great grandmother's diaries that she kept for 33 years while pioneering in Ohio and Iowa that I mentioned last month. These diaries have been used by historians to get a look into the lives of pioneer women. I can't wait to start reading them.
