The Jacobs Family (1620 – 1990)


Took a little break for a while… my uncle came to the house with a box full of pictures, so I’ve been taking time going through everything. Some of this stuff in amazing.

Anyway… here’s what I have on my entire branch (that I know of) of the Jacobs family. It goes all the way back to Salem, Mass. in 1692.
