He would be my 3rd great grandfather. Could there be a relation here. As I’m stuck on not knowing his history and parents etc…
Thank You,

As one who loves history of costume and textiles, vintage swatch books are like the “treasure maps” for those storied trades.
Many thanks for this behind-the-scenes visit.
