The Declaration of Independence (copy), Old Courthouse Museum, Dover, Delaware (August 2009)
On this day in 1776, my mother-in-law's great-great-great- ... grandfather, Roger Sherman, signed this document. I just love that I, a naturalized US citizen, married into a family with a connection to US history.

A great moment.
And proud you should be, Tash. A beautiful post for the occasion. Happy Holiday!
Wonderful and amazing, Tash. The US (not to mention California) is lucky to have you!
I was watching HBO's John Adams today and I was wondering which one is Tash's relative. Thanks for reminding me.
Wow, that's pretty awesome, Tash! Happy Independence Day to your adopted country!
Very nice connection, Tash. Someone I know mentioned Roger Sherman and several other signers today in an email. He'd been in the play "1776" and knew all the names.
Bonjour sweet Tash
wow thanks for sharing this beautiful post, so important moment to your family!

An amazing connection, Tash. Thanks for sharing part of your story with us. I love that your story is part of the nation's story.
Fantastic, Tash!
What a neat connection to have to the U.S.!
Wow - I'm (indirectly) blogging to the Thomas Jefferson!
Wonderful family history! Love that feather pen :)
six degrees of separation (I think)
I just love that too.
