I inherited lace from my husband's cousin Elizabeth Hartshorn Nebesar, who came from a Quaker family in Pennsylvania. I do not know who the original owners were.

It took considerable time and effort to sort through it all, learn how to best store it and to launder certain pieces without damaging them.
