This certificate was given to my maternal grandfather to commemorate his first holy Communion on 3 May 1925. It is falling apart, but it is pretty awesome to find something that was given to my grandfather 91 years ago. It must have been important to him because he kept it for the rest of his life.
Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.
