Finding an old letter amongst a deceased relative old paper is pure eureka.  You just never know where you will find that shred of evidence you have suspected all along.  There it is in pen and paper.  Sorry to say this will not happen as often in the near distant future, since e-mail & texting is the common mode of non-verbal communication these days.  So those what were consider golden places for information will soon disappear.

 

This week though a letter was discovered which with further communication led to new family information being added.

What letters have you found that has helped you to discover more about your family?
