I’m sorry about your grandfather Lyla. But I think hanging up a chart might be a great way to stay connected. 🙂 I’m a bit sentimental myself. Every since my grandfather died (nearly 10 years ago), I’ve kept his photo on the wall next to my desk. And the other side of my family founded a town in CT, so I’ve been up there for several research trips and love the place. One visit I stumbled into a little shop, and they had framed reproductions of old maps of the area — one of the entire town and one of the lot lines from the original families. They’re both also hanging in my office. Useful when I need to go back and find something specific, but also beautiful and meaningful to me every day.

Ever since my grandfather passed away last year, I have been thinking about hanging up some kind of ancestry chart in my home office. It seems like a great way to keep the memories of our family members alive, even those who we never had the chance to meet.
