Ohio Genealogy Trip

First glimpse of my great great grandfather's farm near Canton, Ohio. We were fortunate enough to meet the current owners and to discover that the property has only changed hands twice since the mid 1800s, and to our utter delight, we were taken on a tour of the barns and house, all of which were original. Amazing.

This photo was taken on my cross-state drive across Ohio this summer. It was a rendezvous of four cousins, a whirlwind genealogical research trip. We started out in Canton, but with branches of the family on both sides of the state, we enjoyed a relaxing midweek road trip. It was my first visit to Ohio and with it came many other "firsts" such as this glimpse of another way of life.

Glenn with the Camera

Glenn took the camera for a drive one night at sunset and caught the sky reflected in the windows of this old abandoned building in Union, Washington on Hood Canal. He should take the camera more often. I love this photo!

Another one...

This brought a chuckle, a heron, sitting on the seat (not the bow or the stern) of an old boat as if he belonged there. Notice the starfish all over the dock. Photo taken on Hood Canal.
