One Day Less to Live - Images, transcriptions, and historical notes on the 1927-1931 diaries of my 2nd great grandmother, Annie Florence Macdonald (born Annie Florence Morris).

The Captain's Sea Chest - An old wooden sea chest that turned out to be the Pandora’s box of my maternal ancestry; full of not only innumerable photos, letters, and newspaper clippings, but also diaries and even pressed clothing.

The Siberian Coal Mine Mystery - Family legend turned unsolved mystery by the discovery of newspaper articles both supporting and disputing the story of Captain Joseph W. Morris’ imprisonment, chained to a corpse in an underground Siberian coal mine for three years.
