My great-grandparents, both equally problematic by all accounts!

This charming 20th century painting by Doris Zinkeisen represents Heckington Mill as it is today. In 1890, the cap was blown off and the mill severely damaged in a storm. Originally it had five sails, not the eight here. A cap was purchased from a similar mill scheduled for demolition and...

Sadie Winter and Willi Denton were step-siblings that fell in love. They married 19 February 1906 in Gilmore City, Iowa. Sadly, it appears they had no children but a number of family members lived with them through the years. Will graduated as a pharmacist in 1913 and the Dentons opened their...

When the Winter family arrived in the United States in March of 1882, James had just turned 20 om 16 January. The family proceeded from New York City to Livingston County, Illinois where Jane’s sister and brother-in-law Holland and Ellen Eyre Catton and brother and sister-in-law George and Alice...

These 3 women are related by marriage. Alice (bottom) married my 2X great granduncle George Eyre. Her sister Mary (middle married Charles Cooling Sr. and their son Charles Junior married my 1st cousin twice removed Florence Mary Todd. I haven't figured out Anne yet, but know she is their...

My great-aunt, who definitely was not a fan of people

My old family photos fascinate me. My grandmother looks older here (before the war) than she did at 60 when she reinvented herself as an artist and world traveller :-)

Winter is my mother’s maiden name, so this is the PERFECT collection for my mother’s paternal line. This is about my 2X great grandparents. Their children are depicted in birth order, except for the 5th born child, daughter Mary who lived only 9 months. My great grandfather was their youngest...

Journaling reads: By all accounts, Aunt Nellie was quite the character. She was expelled from school in England for refusing to pay for sewing supplies and was quite happy to go home without learning that skill. She must have been about 6 or 7 years old. She was 8 when the Winter family...

This is my Mom, my MIL, and my daughter at 6 months old! For the August Color Play

I used the Oscrap's A Brave Heart. Collab We took this family photo at Christmas last year. I did some blending on the page and made a layered border on the left side of the page.

The Spencers are part of my family tree. Top photo is Georgiana (Duchess of Devonshire), Harriett (Duchess of Bessborough), and George John (2nd Earl Spencer) Spencer. The bottom is George's wife Lavinia Bingham and their son John Charles (3rd Earl Spencer) Spencer. Their ancestral home...

Bit of a mystery here - a DNA connection on Ancestry sent me this pic of my great-great-uncle and his wife. His brother got my great-gran pregnant behind her husband's back (no secrets in the age of DNA!) BUT it is his wife who is the absolutely twin to my DD. Presumably lots of inbreeding in...
