My cousin, Neville, who´s of Welsh descent, recently traced an American cousin whose branch of the family emigrated to the USA some time ago. From her he received some lovely family photos, among which were the very first he´s ever seen of his paternal grandmother, Susanna. I think this one is beautiful.

oh this is so cool... it's always fun to find out new things about your family, or find new photos! Some day I hope I will have time to look into my family history more. Great page... Your new kit Victoriana is really pretty! I can't wait to see the rest of it! Love the colors and the pretty elements!

Wow, Awesome job with the details. I love the green patterned papers & the Metal elements!! I love her thick hair, sometimes I think I'd like thick full hair, however I heard it gives some people headaches & thats why they wear it short.
