Pilgrims and Pioneers: What a great RAOK!

Welcome To Pilgrims and Pioneers!

After many years of researching my family geneaology I have been lucky enough to discover actual information about my relatives that lived in the Pilgrim Era and the Pioneer Era- while many people also have realtives from those eras- many do not know their names or where they lived- actually seeing the proof in print makes you much more aware of who they really were.
After discovering these relatives it of course made me curious to learn more about the eras that they lived in and what their lives were like as, the history I learned in grade school had long since been forgotten.
I decided to start this blog for others who are also interested in these eras.
Some of the information here will be actual facts about my realtives and some will be information about the eras in general that I have found on the web.
I hope you will enjoy traveling back in time with me!

What a great RAOK!

My aunt is an avid quilter- while I am still thinking about making one she has two done!

For a few years now this quilt has been hanging in her spare bedroom. A few months ago she said if you want that quilt take it home with you, the colors are too dark for me. Now she already knew that I loved the colors in that quilt and that I love stars! So you know that I was thrilled!

Now I think I need to paint my bedroom to go with the quilt!

I love you Aunt Janice!
