What is “The Tenderly Rose Collection”?

Mississippi Mommas — Four generations – Me; my son, Justin; my mother, Jane Morris Estrada and my grandmother, Rosie Smith Morris at the Gulf Park Campus of the University of Southern Mississippi

***

Bits and pieces, stories and thoughts, scrapbook pages, a tapestry of memories collected not only by myself, but, my family members as well…dedicated to my grandchildren, Mackenzie and Brett Dougherty.

***

Sharing family history research and the odd bits of other information included in my ancestors lives. Sometimes the “scraps” I run across when researching are so interesting to local histories and other folks’ families I just want to share them with everybody. I hope others may find treasures amongst mine.
