One Woman's Scrap Book
My father's mother, Georgeanna. Her grandparents immigrated from County Tipperary, Ireland to settle in Iowa in the 1800s.
The Family Farmstead (where my father was raised)
Photo of my great-grandparents' farmhouse. Iowa, 1800s. The woman on the far left was my grandmother's mother whose family immigrated to Iowa during Ireland's potato famine. This century farm and home no longer exists. Replaced by a housing development, the acres I remember playing on as a child did not survive the community's growth.
The Welsh cemetery where many of my family members are buried.
Mother's Mother, Marguerite Her family came from Ireland, Wales, and France.
Mother's Father, Charles His family came from Germany and Denmark.
