This one's about the place I was born. I've been doing some Ancestry.com searching and it is amazing how my people made it from Ireland, Wales, England and Germany/Prussia, to the midwestern state of Iowa.

We moved to Oregon in 1966, but wow...a lot of my people lived there and in the Illinois town across the river.

Go check 'em out! I am actually printing them along with some of the element layers separately, so I can give them more dimension or a tactile experience. I have 3 weeks' worth printed so far, and each week is my gallery. I am learning so much about my family! Like, who served in the Union during the Civil War and who was a soldier during the Revolutionary war! How a branch of the family started out in South Carolina, but ended up in Kentucky. One relative even had a land grant from King George III!
