Ancestry

howe-kids.pngI have not taken the time to go to the ancestry site that my sister sent me a while ago. I got interested a while back about the origins of our family and found out some interesting things, but not in great depth. One of these days, perhaps after retirement, I plan to look into our family ancestry.

Several years ago, I borrowed this 19th century photo of a trio of my Mom’s mother’s siblings and scanned it into a file. As a child, I knew two out of three of the people in this picture, my great uncles Frank and Bert. Great Aunt Kathryn, for whom my mother is named (I presume) was my Grandmother Myra’s older sister who had passed before I was born.

I can remember that as senior citizens, Uncle Frank (left) still had that bushy haircut (white, of course) and Uncle Bert had the same serious expression. Both uncles seemed to enjoy Mom bringing us to visit.
