Granted, it is written in English, but every sentence I read I need to go to the dictionary.
Half the time I can't make out the characters - it is all hand written.
But someone has to do this.
And it has to be me.
As the one who inheretied my Grandmother's real treasures (photos dating back to the early 1800s, journals, property deeds, etc) I need to make this available not just to my family, but the world.
Would anyone be interested in this?
Would this help anyone understand early Americana?
Would this even help my family, fractured and torn, learn anything?
I have no idea. But I feel its my obligation to do this.
If I don't, no one will.
My Grandmother (RIP) started this project, but gave up after 5 years. This was the turn of the century.
Since then, the book still sat.
If I don't bring their story to light, no one will.
Where should I even start?
I feel overwhelmed, but every fiber of my being says I must do this.
