And, I do remember that my daughter had asked me questions regarding family history a while back. In response, I sent her the timeline for my great-grandfather, Watson, a.k.a. "The Traveling Dentist." Now I know why she wanted this information! This was so sweet of her to create this special map for me!Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-3378174436260145492014-01-05T19:06:59.475-08:002014-01-05T19:06:59.475-08:00Hi True,

I have a question, what was the map made out of, was it plastic or paper? Oh, and were you aware that she was paying attention to the route of this line? With my iPad, I can enlarge and see her beautiful stitches, I'm so in awe of her handiwork!Barbara Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440544740334032378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-38518374916056036422014-01-04T10:59:57.469-08:002014-01-04T10:59:57.469-08:00John,
