Mine weren't either, Sylvia, but you'd be surprised. They would scrape together the money for one photo shoot every now and again and once amateur photography began, they even invested in cameras. Mine never cease to maze me!

It will be!

Very cool!

You are probably right on the timing Trudy. Her hairstyle suggests the time of Harrison Fisher and Charles Dana Gibson. If it helps, this is a Gibson Girl And this is a Fisher Girl

What a treasure, Lynn! Is there any chance you might be able to sharpen it a bit or try some filters that might show the details in the women's clothing? The men's fashions wouldn't have changed much, but the women's might offer some really good clues. Is this in England? Where? My roots...

I hear you, Olga! But time is something we may not have, eh? Eternity is only the difference between one heartbeat or breath and the next. I like your idea, though, it's not a bad idea to have several back ups, but it's also a good idea to make it in Word if you don't have full Adobe...

Debra, maybe it's not a bad idea to not put them back in. Is your album archival? If it is an old album, probably not so you might want to put copies back to maintain its integrity but protect the originals. I would think twice before trying to preserve it myself. Most museum curators or...

Linda, that's an excellent idea! My boys are getting really interested in genealogy so maybe they will help!

If I may, we may also be seeing some service interruptions because of the unsettled conditions in Europe at the moment. It's not outside the realm of possibility that some of this is caused by cyber warfare which can come from any source. Hackers and such take advantage of things like this, as...

Cindy, they ARE the cutest! I have one of my Grandpa taken in about 1914 or so in a little outfit like that but white, with a little hat on his very curly head of hair. He did not look happy at all. I love it that YOUR Dad does! Wonderful composition in both of those LOs.

What a neat story! You just never know what you're going to find and where. No stone unturned...

I don't know how I ever missed this LO, but your clusters - and the photo! - are to die for!

Wow! Look at all the intricate cluster work!

Waldine is a distant shirttail cousin. I wish I had known that she and Woodrow lived just over an hour away from us and we went through Springdale several times a year on the way to Tahlequah, Oklahoma from Mountain Home, Arkansas. Stranger yet, their son lived in the same city as I did and I...

Party pooper! I remember those springs in Orange County when I was little. We lived there until I was 10.

France is so lovely in the spring!

I just put this LO up last night. I haven't done a lot of research into this branch of my family yet. They are a little difficult to sort out in Rhode Isaland because they all named their kids the same at the same time. Aye! My great Grandpa Deburger looked EXACTLY like his Grandfather...

Linda, this is priceless! My Grandpa was 20 years older than your Dad and he also had a damaged heart because of rheumatic fever. He also played sports in high schppl, although I was surprised to find it was football and track. I need to send the photos to my Mother. I think she has no clue...

Oh, this is fabulous and such great information!

Eva, can you get maple extract or flavoring? That with corn syrup or even simple syrup or light treacle (or do you call it molasses like we do in the US? When I was stationed in England the shop keeper was horified when I asked for molasses for baking - he said that was for feeding livestock...
