My love for genealogy began back in September of 2023, when I was gifted a golden antique locket with photos inside and two names. I had always been interested in antiques but after researching the sad story behind the locket, I created this account.

The following year is when I began collecting photos and memorial cards of children who died over 100 years ago. I share their stories in order to keep their memories alive. Looking back on it, I wonder if this started largely due to my late friend, who died when we were in our early teens.

The following children are those whose antique photos or memorial cards I have. If you have any information about them and/or are related, please feel free to message me:
