Arne Hendrickson

Family history is something that has become more important to me as I've gotten older.  One of the regrets I have is that I didn't take advantage of opportunities I had to learn more about the lives of my grandparents while they were alive.  Both sets of grandparents lived through the depression and lived hard lives.  They also saw some amazing advances in the world during their lives.  Think about the changes the world has experienced in the past 100+ years. I remember my grandpa reciting a poem about a purple rose and I heard it so many times that I stopped listening.  Now I would love to be able to share that poem with my children and help them learn more about their ancestors.

I have worked on my own family history from time to time.  I've had some information given to me and I always say that I need to sort through it and find out what I really have.  I have found some gems for my ancestors through the internet and I'm very grateful for that information.  So imagine my surprise when I'm looking at familysearch.org and I see a wedding picture of my great great grandparents.  I didn't remember ever seeing the picture and so I contacted the person who submitted the picture.  It was in pretty good shape, but there was some wear on it and I wanted to make it look better.  What a thrill it was today to receive the file, and I couldn't wait to work on it.  While I love working on other people's family pictures, there is a special feeling when it's your own family. So here's Arne Hendrickson and Gustava Martinson and there were married about 1888 in Norway.
