Hi Kids: It was kind of a yucky day today - kind of rainy and windy so I thought I would give you a little flashback....your great-great-great grandparents. Let me introduce you to Christian and Julia Sands.
Christian was married before Julia and had a son, Sever. His wife died in childbirth. Julia came by covered wagon from North Dakota to work for Christian as a housekeeper.
They eventually married on January 7, 1880. This is their wedding photo. Julia was only 17 when they married. They had TEN children.
The eighth child born to Christian and Julia was your great-great grandfather, William Colonel Sands. They lived in Pleasant Valley, Wisconsin. Pleasant Valley is just south of Eau Claire. You are probably related to most of the people in Pleasant Valley.
Hope you enjoyed your ancestor lesson for today.
If you have any questions for me, just leave a post!! I've got more where this comes from.
And guess what, tomorrow is Halloween - can't wait to see pictures of your costumes.
Love you lots,
Grandma Chrissy
