Vancouver Islander reunites with lost family tree going back to 1500s

Marianne Hall lost the wallpaper with the family tree penciled in after moving

Marianne Hall, who started working on her family tree on the back of a piece of wallpaper in 1999, has been reunited with it after parting from it following a house move.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 marvellous to have it back,香蕉视频直播 says Hall. 香蕉视频直播淏ecause now I香蕉视频直播檓 a great-grandmother, so now there香蕉视频直播檚 another young individual who will likely be interested over the years.香蕉视频直播

The wallpaper was found at a thrift store by Cristine Lund who was thinking of cutting up the six feet long sheet of wallpaper for lining furniture. Luckily, she noticed a detailed family tree including dates from the 1500s with a bunch of details including Anglo-Saxon names, birth dates, and dates of death.

香蕉视频直播淚 was surprised at how big it was香蕉视频直播ο憬妒悠抵辈 she says. 香蕉视频直播淭he dates grabbed my attention because, at quick glance, I didn香蕉视频直播檛 see anything more recent than the 1800s. Then I thought that I can香蕉视频直播檛 use this in my hobbies香蕉视频直播 I can香蕉视频直播檛 cut it up, it might be important to someone.香蕉视频直播

So Lund appealed to a Facebook group, where she received tips to contact the Campbell River Genealogy Society and media.

Hall香蕉视频直播檚 daughter saw a segment on the TV about the mystery $2 wallpaper with a detailed family tree on the back, done in pencil. She recognized some of the names, thought the writing looked familiar and told Hall she thought it looked like wallpaper she would choose.

She decided to contact the Genealogy Society, which connected Lund and Hall.

After her aunt travelled to England in 1998, meeting with cousins, she decided to sketch out the family tree going off a rough drawing with all the information the cousins knew at the time. Unfortunately, the aunt passed away shortly after returning.

香蕉视频直播淪o the piece of paper came into my hands and I thought this was interesting so I pursued it,香蕉视频直播 says Hall. 香蕉视频直播淚 got quite a ways back and I香蕉视频直播檓 not somebody who feels like you need to get way, way back, but just far enough back.香蕉视频直播

Most of her work comes from church records in England from where her ancestors used to live, allowing her to get as far back as the 1740s. From there, she was able to research as far back as the late 1500s.

香蕉视频直播淚t was very different in 1999. You had to order in film and wait for it to come from Salt Lake City,香蕉视频直播 Hall says. 香蕉视频直播淪ometimes it wasn香蕉视频直播檛 easy to read the records either. It wasn香蕉视频直播檛 a quick process and sometimes I香蕉视频直播檓 amazed at how people use Ancestry.com 香蕉视频直播 That just goes to show you (what) a few years香蕉视频直播 difference can make.香蕉视频直播

Hall also expressed her gratitude to Lund for pursuing her search for the owner of the family tree, instead of using it as drawer lining. She also noted the two had a lot of things in common, calling her a new friend.

Hall plans to continue the family tree calling it a project for this spring.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 always sort of looking. I like to do a puzzle. Until it香蕉视频直播檚 totally done, every time you walk by it you go 香蕉视频直播渉m.香蕉视频直播
