Robert Campbell

I need to step away from Genealogy sites IMMEDIATELY!! I'm becoming obsessed with tracking ancestors like some demented stalker! This isn't my Great Great Grandfather from the 1800s because I doubt if there is a picture of him anywhere - not even a mugshot from his 40 days in prison for horse theft! Ah Genealogy is fascinating; my husband's ancestors are surgeons and chemists etc...and I've got a dodgy horse thief Lol!!!

***EDIT*** Found out this is in fact my Grandfather so maybe Robert Campbell did resemble his Grandson after all!

The paper has done all the work here...Artsy paper > extracted Photo duplicated three times, Pin light, soft light and Overlay modes > two transfers overlay and colour burn modes> Painting of gypsy encampment duplicated, colour burn and linear light modes.

What a great story Fiona, I almost fell off my chair laughing :p Who cares a thief, in our family there was a whore. Do you look like him because he's very handsome. lol

Your page is stunning, you did the background so great, also great is the extraction of him. I don't know what I like best, the story of your page!
Turns out this handsome chap is my Grandfather; I knew by his mouth that the guy was family as my Dad looks like him! He was 71 when I was born and I only remember him when he was late seventies so I have no memory of his good looks! It's great what you find out about ancestors once you start digging!
 
How funny! My husband's GF took off to the west coast, left his wife and children and
started another family back in the day... That couldn't have happened today with all the tracking!
I've heard about this scenario before, poor women left struggling bringing up their families while a new family is created elsewhere! I can't wait to see what my DNA results turn up!
 
He was a handsome devil. You background is symbolic of his "murky" background. Love the prison registry name—the perfect touch. I think we have a horse thief or two in our family history.
