Susan began her “Leffler In My Blood” project over 2 decades ago as a collection of images and stories related to our grandfather John Leffler, his descendants and extended family. Originally published on the now long defunct “MSN Pages”, then moved to Tumblr when MSN Pages was discontinued, and finally moved to the Photo Sharing Platform Flickr. Over the years Susan had collected much more material than she had put up on this Flickr page. Wayne has kindly provided as much of this as he can find (and it’s a lot).
I created this web site to continue Susan’s vision. Over time I hope to organize and post her collection. I have also added an ancestry database which was another of Susan’s interests.
I remember in childhood, Susan saying that her ambition was to be a librarian. Her passion for collecting and preserving information began early. She also loved her extended family dearly, so it makes complete sense to me why she spent time collecting family pictures, letters, anything she could get. I hope to be able to bring it to you on this website in a way that Susan would approve.
