This column is a departure from the usual but hopefully readers will find it of interest. In 1987, after the death of my father, John Miller Waddell, and having lost my mother in 1986, I inherited a typical family treasure, a shoe box of pictures. For several agonizing nights I poured over the pictures. What I had to start with is about 100 years of family history. With the help of friends who worked in the local archives office, I have also been able to trace the family back to 1831 in Scotland with a fair amount of assurance of accuracy.
