I have not had a whole lot of time recently to spend on family history although I have my sights set on a number of people that are interesting and that I want to delve into. Hopefully I’ll be able to spend more time on that shortly but have a few projects that need to …

I have so many things to write about, possibilities still to investigate, and facts in my head; sometimes I don’t know where to begin. I also realize some others don’t have the same passion or burning desire that I seem to have, to try to get right, what my father had often expressed to me …

I have a much larger size image for those that might to examine it closer. 2560X1851 pixels, 745 Kb. Which family is this? My sister has been scanning old photo prints she has located, and this has been one of them. I’ve used it as the cover image for the “Scott Family Stories” index page …
