Specifically about someone from a later time period/future generation of a family finding letters/photographs of someone in the past, or inheriting an old house and learning the story/history behind it?

This year I read Briar Rose, and while it's YA geared I still found it to be really good.

An Angel's Redemption, An Angel Healed, or Rags to Rubies, all by Annalisa Russo (me!) All three books are set in 1920's Chicago.

These lean more toward "story" than "historical," but I loved them both:
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer
Letters from Skye by Jessica Brockmole

The Forgotten Garden is a good one.

I just thought of another that's somewhat related. Murther and Walking Spirits begins with a man who dies on page one, then discovers he can travel back in time and observe his various ancestors as they lived.

Hi!
I am excited that I have just published my lighthearted, historical fiction novel, Wrapped Up in Lies on Kindle for 99 cents. I am offering to enter those who write a review of it on Amazon and Library Thing in a drawing to WIN a $25 AMAZON CARD. The drawing will be held on January 1st.
Here's the book blurb:
"Emma Fortune, a modern 1920’s woman, never expected when she decided to travel to Petra, Transjordania (modern-day Jordan), to find lost treasure; that she would spend so much of her time precariously perched atop an ornery camel. Especially one that can actually aim when he spits! She also didn’t bargain on then being whisked away by the Egyptian Museum’s Department of Antiquities to become a key player in an elaborate marketing ploy to lure wealthy tourists to Egypt’s ancient sites. Emma is often in de-NILE-l as she combats ancient mummy curses, annoyingly flirtatious coworkers, and too many hairy situations to count! She isn’t on this journey alone, though sometimes she wishes she were- enter Dash Darling, Egyptologist, who is eager to get his hands on a chest… any kind of chest; Amira, Emma’s elegant right-hand lady; Ali, a recent college art grad; Alistair, a BBC journalist, and Khalid, Emma’s mysterious Transjordanian guide. This team knows that they have to succeed or else risk being “wrapped up in lies” of their own making!"

As a new author, I appreciate your support!
