There is an amazing feeling when you find out that your own very personal history is part of your country's history. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that this man is my ancestor. History becomes so real. (Translation of journaling in the credit list)

What an amazing genealogy find! Really amazing to think about. The background paper and colors are what caught my eye at first but then reading the rest of it was so darn cool! Were you pointing at the painting in the museum yelling hey- he is my family!?!?
Wow! That's a wonderful discovery, and you made a beautiful page to show off the photo. I especially like how you managed to use a very patterned paper and still lead our eye to the portrait.
