Leaves on the Trudgian Tree

Exploring the lives of one Trudgian family in Galena, Illinois through the eyes of their daughter, Lillian, during the years of 1913 through 1931. Lillian's authentic diary entries explore the family, neighbors, what is happening in Galena, as well as, national events and of course the weather and the crops!

About Me

Name:
Location: Portage, Michigan, United States

Since all three volumes of "Lillian's Diaries: Whispers From Galena's Past" have been transcribed and published, I am currenting working on another book about the Trudgian (Tregian/Trugeon) family. This time it will be a novel based on historical events which involve my ancestors in Cornwall in the 1400-1600's. I have just started organizing my research so it will be a year or two before you will see it in the bookstore! I have just finished leading a Genealogy Class for beginners at my church. At the end of the six session class everyone had discovered some new information about their ancestors but there was, of course, many more questions to be answered. So I started the "Whispers From Our Ancestors" blog to provide a space for us to share our genealogical joys and roadblocks. Http://seekingourpast.blogspot.com is open to everyone doing genealogy - beginners to experts and all those inbetween.

A Bolivia Coat

Remember Lillian's new coat that was mentioned in the Tuesday, September 15, 1926 posting that said that she had bought a bolivia coat? Well Leaves on the Trudgian Tree's newest follower, Debbie V. actually found a picture of an All-Wool Bolivia coat on p. 3 of The Frisco Employes Magazine for October, 1926, Vol. IV. What a good researcher......it's not a color, it's a style. And look at the cost! Wish I was living in 1926!

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to add the picture to this post, but if you go to Debbie's comment on September 15th the link is there and you can see it for yourself.
