ReplyDeleteMichelle, i was just checking out your blog...it is just wonderful. you have put sooo much time and effort into this. I would love to make one...wouldn't be anything like yours..do you include living people too or just the ones that have passed.
ReplyDeleteanyway as i was looking at this article about john p. murphy....i have a little story to tell you. my little ole neighbor Kitsy (catherine)is from ireland but her father was born in anaconda, montana in 1908. the family came over to be with other family members to work in the mines. kitsy's grandfather got sick and kitsy's family had to move back to ireland to take care of the family. She still has family that lives in anaconda. I just thought it was such a small world after all. Love your work.
