GenFriends~Maternal Heirloom Show and Tell!




Cheri and the panel Melissa Barker, Bernice Bennett, Dan Earl, Laura Hedgecock, Shelley Murphy, and Mary Kircher Roddy get together to share the heirlooms they have from their maternal lines. Melissa gives her advice about how best to preserve them and Laura helps with ideas for writing the stories.  

Watch and learn best practices for storing your precious heirlooms and the importance of capturing the stories.

We got so involved with hearing from Melissa that she didn't get a chance to share her heirlooms! She will make up for it when we do the paternal edition for Father's Day!




What heirlooms do you have from your Maternal ancestors?

We'd love to hear from you!

  1. I've got some wonderful heirlooms Cheryl. One of them is a letter from my maternal grandmother to me. I wrote about it just this past week. http://www.michiganfamilytrails.com/2021/05/a-letter-from-my-grandma1980florence.html
    I also have a series I’m doing on a scrapbook left by my husband's paternal great grandmother. http://www.michiganfamilytrails.com/p/coras-scrapbook.html
