My Mother's Scrapbook

I am going to slowly start scanning pictures from my mother's scrapbook and as I do I will post them to the Maternal Family section of my blog.  This week's post has been posted.   If you don't have access to that section feel free to email me!

Ella Titsworth (Swezy), 1881-1962

Ella Swezy with friend

Ella Titsworth (Swezy) is the twin sister of my Great Grandfather Ellsworth Swezy.  Born September 21, 1881 to Dubois Swezy and Sarah (Rysdyk) and was one of six kids.  She later married George Titsworth and had 2 children, Martin and Donald.   She died on September 18, 1962 and is buried in Glenwood Cemetery, Vernon, New Jersey.

The first picture posted was sent to me by my second cousin.   Ella was her great Grandmother.

Changes are a coming!

Stay tuned for exciting new changes coming to Discovering Family Roots!
