FREDERICK LOUIS AND CORA LULU GROZELLE WITH THEIR FOUR CHILDREN
Hello there and Welcome!
I am excited to share with you the rich and fascinating history of our family. Through text, videos, and photographs, my aim is to bring our family’s story to life and create a platform for communication and connection.
Your feedback is invaluable in helping me piece together the puzzle of our family history. Please feel free to reach out to me via email or by completing the form on the contact page. I look forward to hearing from you.
Another important goal, for this website is to share the historical pictures of our ancestors and their history to show how we became the Grozelle family.
There are a number of very ancient photographs just like the one above, some are even tintype, that I have scanned and have scattered on various pages. These photos were given to me by Sophia Maye McLean (Eades).She was my mother’s cousin, Pearl Grozelle (Armstrong).
These photo memories will be shared with you through videos and/or slideshows.
Don’t be surprised if you see yourself in the later stages as the video history progresses, especially if you have spent any time at our camp at Batchawana Bay, you just might find yourself smelling the aroma of the boiling maple syrup or strolling the beach, or sitting by a bonfire, or canoeing and/ or sailing on Lake Superior.
Family events also provide opportunities to be seen, such as Christmas or New Years visits, weddings and/or anniversaries.
You may also enjoy videos depicting our visits to South Africa, New Zealand, Europe or our cruise from Venice to Turkey some of these trips are already on YouTube..
