Imagine Discovering a Young Face that Holds Clues to Your Family History
Imagine discovering a face that holds clues to your family history. That’s exactly why this portrait matters. This is my great-great-grandfather Valentine Wertz (1886-1976). I received this photograph of him two years ago from a gentlemen in Pennsylvania. His grandmother had it in her possession. Since he wasn’t related to Valentine, he decided to pass it on to me. I’m so grateful. My dad used to tell me stories that “Pop” told him. One was how it took five days to travel from Chaneysville, PA to Cumberland, MD via horse. Now it only takes 30 minutes! ~shared by @schredhammer
