HELP!

Hello Family! If you could help me out by leaving comments and/or corrections, that would be great. I will be going back and adding dates onto some of the photos if I can, like the year of Charles and Margaret Calvert's 50th. If you remember the event, leave a comment about what your remember. It would be just more great things to add to our family history.

Warm wishes to everyone!

The Calvert Family Blog Starts Today

Thanks to Ruth Gorkowski's granddaughter, Diane Trimble, I have become interested in our family history. Diane has taken over Aunt Ruth's spot in being the keeper of our story. I think that this blog will be a great way to look at photos and articles and share.

I will be adding family photos and stories of the Calvert family weekly. My hope is to get everyone to digitally combine their photos so we can have a great archive online. This will be a good way for everyone to share things. If you have photos, email me and I will give you my address and send them to me to be scanned. If you can scan, the email them to me and I will put them on my blog.

The photo here is a picture of Henry Calvert and his family. Jane Brunskill Calvert is seated on the right. Simon Calvert is in the back on the right.
