My entire life, the first 45 years, I asked my grandmother about her childhood before she passed away. She always had the same response, "Yes, Lisa. I remember my grandmother. When I was little and after she died, during the night I would see her ghost in her rocking chair. She would be in the corner of the ceiling. It was spooky because we lived in the country. It was dark but I could see her clearly. No, I wasn't afraid." One of the many stories she told me that inspire my genealogy research.

I'm hoping you're reading this post after having a fantastic summer full of documented memories for generations of family history research! For me, I am feeling great after a summer full of new discoveries on several research trips and establishing the template for the design, format and structure of Paperdoll Journal. Thank you all for your support, feedback and cheer! Moving forward is my fall theme while  exploring my genealogy and family history leading to the Great Migration. ​~ Lisa
