Facey Homested

This his the home that James and Hazeltine raised 13 children in. They owned it in Callahan California. I am going this summer to do research on the family with my mother. I feel that it will be a great thing to do. I really want to know my families roots. So this will be a very fun experience. I want to take my own pictures and interview people and find out who they really were. Maybe I wont want to know who they were but I am willing to find out and think that it is a fun and interesting thing. I really to do these things and research is fun to me.
