We all want to leave behind a legacy. The stories of our ancestors all documented in neat reports that go along with a killer family tree, am I right? But what about all the other “stuff”? The boxes of photos and videos that tell YOUR story?
There are a few photos in my grandparents’ wedding album that include my great-grandfather, Giuseppe Bombino.

He is dapper in a tux with a white bow tie and has a smile on his face and in his eyes.
Or maybe that’s what I’m reading into his expression based on what I’ve heard about him over the years.
