Three Ringed Black Binder
We all have things we have forgotten about or don’t know we own in our homes. Papers, books, pictures, all forgotten on shelves or in closets. When I was eighteen, I found a black binder tucked in next to cooking and children’s books, inside my mom’s cluttered, almost to the point of hoarder status, apartment. Inside of it were pages and pages following the lives of men and their children starting in 1660 Connecticut. Pages and pages, about the Page family, my family.
Every family has a story, but not everyone’s gets told. Welcome to the Family Stories podcast. I’m Margaret and let me tell you one of mine.
