The postcard is addressed to my great-grandfather Habben and is postmarked 15 August 1968 in Little America, Wyoming. It’s addressed as “Dear Dad” and is unsigned. There’s a picture of the Salt Lake City Temple on the reverse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m about 99% certain it was written by my grandmother (predominantly based on the handwriting and the fact that Grandma had the card in her possession upon her death). But once I’m gone the chance that someone living has the knowledge to determine that is slim. So the digital image I have made of that post card includes my reasoning for why I think my grandmother wrote it. The postcard is in an archival envelope that includes a piece of paper with the same information written on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have identified pieces of family history where the identification is only in your head? That’s not the best place to leave that information. Identified items mean that the identification is on or with the item. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise that identification really does not mean all that much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
