Someone requested information from when my family owned a grain mill in the mid 1800s. My dad [View all]

had comissioned a history on that mill and I believe it was published in a very limited way. It told us that the mill had a few children working for them. As a kid, I had seen pictures of the workers at the mill and I had always assumed it was 'family day' at the mill. Anyhow, some other family that owned the mill before us is doing a museum type display on the history. They asked if we had any information. So I am sending all that I have. Those kids' story deserves to be told.

Anyone else come across bad news when doing genealogy?
