I knew one of them, my great-grandma Ann (my dad's maternal grandmother). She passed when I was around 10 or 11. I think I inherited some of my musical abilities from her. Both her and my grandma could pick up almost any song just by hearing it and then play it on the piano/organ (or, in my grandma's case, accordion). <br /><br />Of the few things I've inherited from my great-grandparents, I have Johnston family quilts (at last count, I had 3...but I think I may have 4 or 5), old family recipes (that I have yet to decipher - and I mean old...c. 1910 and older), and tons of photos. <br /><br />Someday I'm going to have to sit down and start getting into the family history a bit more. I know a lot more than I think I do...but I want it written down somewhere.Renee Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513788818111774118noreply@blogger.com
