My sister has a painting by a great Uncle who died in 1933. When I made contact with a 2nd cousing via GR, I found out she had one as well. I have now made contact with yet another 2nd cousin, 3rd cousins and a few more, who all have paintings and a sketch book of water colours. I am in the process of receiving them all via msn. This man has almost come to life through his paintings and talking about him. Jacky :-)

That is so nice. We all usually make the mistake of throwing out everything when A family member dies. You are very lucky someone had the sense and the fore sight to keep these treasures. Deanna
