Turkey Cards

I have conflicting feelings about Thanksgiving. 

On my maternal side I have my 9th great-grandparents (the Whites) who sailed on the Mayflower. Then on my paternal side, there are rumors that my 6th great-grandfather was Gelelemend (aka John Killbuck), a Delaware (Lenape) Chief. (However, the paper trail is sketchy and unconfirmed and conflicting on different genealogy sites.) But given that it is Thanksgiving week, I thought I’d share a couple turkey cards I created a few years back.

Before the direction of my life and art career were forever altered by my late wife’s hereditary cancer*, I created many things over the course of my freelance career. Among them were greeting cards, wrapping paper, and other paper products for various publishers.

*Remember, Thanksgiving is National Family Health History Day. I created a pedigree to help you record and share family health history. It just might save the life of a loved one. More info here: www.genetionary.org
