Very interesting about the family...the earlier members didn't seem to live very long...their lives must have been so hard. And very interesting about the glitter. Our love of bling comes natural then....and so it's OK here isn't it?
That is interesting Denise! It tells me that our need to sparkle is ingrained!!!!
I applaud you for putting down the info for others to know. This kind of family info should never be lost!!! Very elegant LO!!
Great documentation again. I love reading other family histories especially one's that go back to England...you never know who you might be related to in this world. Noticed your year 1719/20 and remember the first time my genealogy programme automatically did this to me and I wonderered what was happening. Didn't take me long to learn of the calendar changes. I love how reasearching your family history leads to so many other interesting topics!! Very interesting journalling about the glitter.
I was going to stop at my immigrant ancestors but I had so much info on this family other than just names and dates I decided to continue. I loved the glittering surface of the "family" embellishment enough that I used some glitter on the punched piece. I thought to myself, "What does glitter have to do with someone born in 1719/20?" So I did a little research on glitter and I found out its been around for a long time according to Wikipedia! "As early as 30,000 years ago, flake mica was used to give caves paintings a glittering appearance. Primitive humans are believed to have used cosmetics,which may have included powdered hematite, a sparkling mineral.Over 6,000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians produced glittering cosmetics from the iridescent shells of beetles as well as finely ground green malachite crystal. Prior to modern plastics, particles of glass were used to create glittering surfaces, and glass glitter is still produced commercially." Interesting, eh?
