Old and interesting pictures of my ancestors.

ABOUT ME

My Mom's Ancestors

My Maternal Great Grandparents
and Great Great Grandparents.

I have scanned many photos of my mom and dad and their parents and my parent's siblings, and even some of my great grandparents. My mother was born in 1917, so that should give you an idea of how old some of these pictures are. Her mother married at age 17.

Below are pictures of her with my great grandfather.

Here are two pictures of Edie's parents, the Baker's.

All these pictures come from my grandmother's photo album. She and her family before her, seemed to love taking pictures. A lot of these are from really long ago. I wish I had pictures from my father's side that go back this far.

I wish my grandmother was still alive today so I could thank her for all the work she did in organizing all these pictures in her album. Even though she wrote right on top of the pictures, that still helped me to understand them. She also left behind several diaries, but my cousin has them or I would attempt to make a page with excerpts from it. June 2019 Update: My cousin sent them to me and I have been transcribing them from her diaries onto the computer. Thank you Alice.

Now, my mother's paternal great grandparents.

You may have noticed I don't have first names of a lot of my ancestors, but that's because I lost the notes with the information on it. I will see if I can find it.

Hey, when I said "All about me," I really meant it!

I'll include my list of all my "regular" web pages at the top of each page so if you get tired of hearing all about me, you can escape to some place else. But for now, here are some more personal pages...
