For as long as I can remember, my grandmother had this very old family portrait hanging over her couch. She told me their names over and over again, but I had only ever met one of them, and she was VERY old. She lived to be 101. My grandma told me stories about them, all these people that were so very dear to her, my relatives, my history, and I find it so sad that the memories of those wonderful people will die with her. How soon we are forgotten! After just a few decades. This is why I like wikitree - you can record those memories, you can preserve those stories. Knowing names and dates is great, but it's so much better to know something about who that person was, if you possibly can. The struggles they endured and the kind of life they lived, the decisions they made, those are the reasons you are alive. If any one of those people had made one choice differently, you may not even be here.
Many of the profiles I add are not my family. If you would like to take over management, please let me know.
I am looking for any information on Ransom, Robert, or Roy Nichols (or last name Doone). He was born in Colorado, lived in Idaho in the early 1900s; served in WW1 in the Canadian cavalry; lived in Bristol, England during WW1; Cincinnati, Ohio in the early 1920s; I think he might have been in New Mexico in the early 1930s; and in Los Angeles County, California by 1934, where he lived the rest of his life. Any tiny bit of info would be a great piece to add to the puzzle. Thank you!

One or more photos you recently uploaded is a nominee to be our current Family History Photo of the Week. We'll feature the winner on the main WikiTree home page all next week and share it on our social networks. I assume you wouldn't mind having the photo featured like this, if it were to win. If for some reason you wouldn't want this, let me know right away and we'll remove it if you let me know before Friday. Also, it isn't necessary, but if you have any more information about the photo or the person,we would love to hear any stories or information that adds background. You can add the additional information in the comment box underneath the photo. Thank you!
