A Special Find
PROVENANCE: n. place of origin, source.* Back in February my research was centred around the SIGRIST family and trying to locate any family in Germany. This wasn't successful, for several reasons, but DNA has given us some leads. When I was doing this research I had photocopies of what appeared to be pages from a note book, but while I thought is was Fred Sigrist's, I couldn't prove it. Well... yesterday I was going through family stuff, in a drawer and found a small, green booklet. On opening it there were lists of names, a map of a garden, AND the information that I have on the photo copies. I can now prove the provenance of the copies I have, thrilled. Yes, the booklet was Fred's and in it is a sweet notation, " started keeping company with Elsie 17.3.09" Fred and Elsie married 5 April 1919. The cover. The sweet notation. One of the pages.
