The past two days, all I have done is a little research at the Western Reserve Historical Society (WRHS). I am looking into my family history on my mother's mother's side of the family. Thus far, I have found two relevant sources for the project.
I found a book that we actually own called "In Between the Lines," in which there is a chapter about my great-aunt's and great-uncle's trip throughout Europe. I haven't yet read it, but I have it digitized and will read it during my trip.
The other document I discovered at the WRHS is (who I believe to be) my great-great-uncle Paul Rosenwasser's (oft called Rosewater) travel diary, also throughout Europe, in 1904-05.
At the WRHS library, the librarian (whose name I will write down for tomorrow/Saturday's entry) is very sweet, and told me that she grew up down the street from my grandmother Mary Feil's former place of residence. Like I hear my mother say more often than one might expect, what a small world!
I am leaving on Saturday morning for Boston, where I will meet my brother Jacob, and then we will hop on a plane that stops halfway there in Iceland, and will arrive Sunday morning in London. I plan to write an update during the layover on Saturday.
Have a safe flight, Micah! So, what have you found out from your research? What was in your Great-Uncle's diary? For everyone reading, I've put a link to Micah's travel blog in the blogroll on the right-hand navigation bar so you can follow his journey.
