My mom's side of the family is Swedish (and still lives in Sweden) and she instilled in me lots of Swedish heritage and traditions which has made me who I am today. My dad's side of the family is German and Irish and the most likely the side of the family I get all my freckles from. Family is so important, and welcome everyone to discover more about them, their history, and share about their loved ones who make up the history of who we are!

According to the marriage announcement for Dolores Douglas and James O'Laughlin, which appeared in the Winona Daily News on Saturday, June 29, 1946, Olive and Ross Douglas were living in Phoenix, Arizona.

I don't have memories of my great-grandfather, Ross Douglas, as he had passed away before I was born. Ross's daughter, my grandmother, Alice (Douglas) Lex, had a framed photograph of Ross and his wife, Olive (White), in her house in Two Harbors, Minnesota. As a child I remember seeing this portrait and asking who the people pictured were. One of my cousins told me that they were Grandma's parents. At the time and for many years afterward it was simply enough for me to know who the people pictured were. It wasn't until many years later that I began to have questions about their lives. Around 2010 I began to pursue genealogical research of my family and discovered a paper trail that provided answers to some of my questions.
