  1. What a neat idea! Handwriting is a very unique way to capture someone's memory.

    1. Hi,

      Thanks so much for your kind comments! I'm glad you like this idea of sharing some of my ancestors' signatures. I saw it done on someone else's blog and loved it. There really is something special about seeing the handwriting and signatures of our ancestors isn't there?

      Thanks for stopping by!

  3. What a great idea Jana. I'm on a mission to collect signatures for all of my ancestors, but I've never considered adding them to my blog. That will have to be a project to tackle in the near future.
