11th Edition of the Smile For The Camera Carnival Posted!

The 11th edition of the Smile for the Camera has been posted! You can read the edition here. The topic for the next edition will be on "Noble Life. Show us a photograph of an ancestor, relative, or friend that is the embodiment of A Noble Life. A life that is worthy of those who came before and those who follow after. A Life filled with small but courageous acts; filled with love and honor. A simple life, an ordinary life, A Noble Life. Bring them to the carnival and share with us how you've honored them." Enjoy!

(Note: I am only posting my notice for this edition now as I was busy this past weekend, and I was unable to do any blogging when this edition was posted.)

Are They Related? Another Mystery Photo ...

This is another photograph from my great-aunt's album. Again, I do not know who these children are or if they are related to me. In fact, I do not know if any of them are siblings, but my guess is that some of them probably are siblings. If you recognize anyone in this picture, please contact me at jess_history at yahoo dot com. Thanks!

10th Edition of the Smile For the Camera Posted!

The tenth edition of the Smile For the Camera Carnival has been posted! You can read it here. The topic for the next edition is on "brothers & sisters? Were they battling brothers, shy little sisters, or was it brother & sister against the world? Our ancestors often had only their siblings for company. Were they best friends or not? Show us that picture that you found with your family photographs or in your collection that shows your rendition of brothers & sisters." Enjoy!
