Instead of using it as drawer liner, Cristine Lund is now on the hunt for the original owner of a roll of wallpaper she purchased at the Salvation Army Thrift Store in Campbell River.

But what she had purchased was not just any wallpaper though. The $2 vintage wall covering had a six-foot family tree penciled on its back with dates that go as far back as 1593. A few thoughts went through her mind, she says, and sheB次元官网网址檚 still not sure in what order.

Lund initially posted her find on Facebook, hoping to connect with members of the Anglo-Saxon-named families sketched on to the wallpaper: Kent, Edwards, Hodgeson, Elizabeth.

She plans on delivering the wallpaper to the Campbell River Genealogy Society, however, she did get a message from them that they might have found the owner already.
