One of the fun things that has been uncovered in our family history search is the WWI Footlocker from Otto Mauser. Otto is the brother of my Great Grandfather Ben Mauser. This footlocker was really a treasure of information. It included Otto’s full uniform and most of the supplies and literature he received during hisContinue reading “Otto Mauser WWI Service”

The Kinsey line tiesContinue reading “Swiss Research Project – into the 1500’s!”
