Sharing my love of genealogy and my experience as a genealogist to inspire everyone to search out their family trees...the past, present, and future are all connected. Researching your family tree is like looking for a bunch of needles in a whole lot of haystacks, and then threading those needles together to tell your family's story. If you know where you come from you can know who you are and where you're going!

Wordless Wednesday: Grandpa with Bob Hope
My grandfather, Elmer Gorry, at work with comedian Bob Hope
Hi Wendy! My grandfather used to be a producer for NBC and worked with Bob Hope a few times - I think my dad mentioned they worked together on a USO show. But they're both wearing tuxedos in this photo, so it must have been some kind of party. My dad wasn't sure what the exact occasion was in this photo and his side of the family has a ton of wonderful photos but never labeled any of them - a genealogist's dream/nightmare! :)
Too bad this is WORDLESS -- I want to know the story here. Yeah, I'm nosey.
