Cool family history there!

Unfortunately I have very few of the family relics passed down from my parents on either side. Too many moves over the years.

I'm in my 50s now and more recently became interested in my family's history. Finally learned who my great grandparents were on my dad's side at least. My mom is a bit harder because she was adopted (technically my dad was too but he always knew his bio father and his bio mom remarried and my dad took his name) but we also had an opportunity to meet my mom's biological mom several years ago. My sister spent a lot more time getting to know that part of the family and I just met everyone (aunts and uncles, mostly) once. I think of the pictures my sister has there's pretty hardcore evidence they were all pretty much bona fide hillbillies on my mom's side (like bib overalls and jugs of moonshine level hillbillies).

Anyway it is always so interesting to learn something about where you came from, so to speak.
