She said things are a bit sketchy, everything old in both hers and DH&#039;s families came to them as no one else wanted them. Most were not labeled in any way. But she believes this belonged to her great, great grandmother. I asked her if it is possible that would date it to the Civil War era, she said yes, it&#039;s possible. </p><p><br /></p><p>I tried to call her back to ask more questions but had to leave a message. The family lived in New England, New Hampshire I think, but I will find out. I will ask if it would be possible they had any connection to Eastern Europe or the Ukraine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
