1842? Wow that's great!!! 587 of you is quite a few! Not a bad legacy at all!!
My husband and I always say we wish we could just revisit the past for so many hours to see how our ancestors lived and what were they concerned about then as opposed to now. I do know the women wore a lot of clothing lol. It would take me half the morning to dress up in the corset and all that clothing....let alone fix my hair like they did. Wonder if they wore ponytails?
Thanks for your input tgavin71. Very interesting post.
