My new blog standout this week is George and Rosanna. George and Rosanna emigrated from Burnley, England in 1907, they kept in touch with family in England via postcards. Rosanna's great granddaughter now is possession of these postcards and is sharing them with us along with their family history story on this quaint blog. Lovely idea.
