Treasure Box

Last week I was in Miami, Florida for vacation and drove up to Davie, Florida to visit with my brother.  I hadn't been there very long when he said, "I have something I want to give. I was going to mail it to you but I am too lazy."  When I saw what was in his hand I exclaimed, "Dad's Cigar Box." This is what he handed me.

Dad's Cigar Box and a Record Jacket

Paper's in the Box

Paper from the folder

Some of the items include:

• Dad's Certificate of Birth, Baptism & Marriages to both of my mothers
• Copies of his parent's death certificates
• My Mom's Annette Report of Separation of Service.
• My Dad's Address book

The amazing thing is about a week before I went to Florida I thought, I wish I had my Dad's address book.  And now I have it!!  One of those Genealogy Serendipitous Moments!!!
