Welcome to my genealogy blog! This is a record of my journey to discover the details between the dates. Some of my favorite blogging prompts are From the Shoebox, Wordless Wednesday, and Saturday Night Genealogy Fun (SNGF). I also post excerpts from historic household guides and cookbooks under Herstoryan's Hearth. Poems, pictures, crazy stories, and tip and tricks round out the rest. Use the search box below to zero in on a subject and feel free to leave a comment or share what you find. Don't forget to follow me on twitter! I look forward to sharing my stories with you.
Featured in the May 2010 issue of Family Tree Magazine. Thank you everyone for all your encouragement and support!
We all have a story to tell. Some speak louder than others. If you listen closely you can still hear the stories of our ancestors echoing under our footsteps. They are the authors. We are the keepers.
What a beautiful photo. I, too, am amazed by the tiny waist. Ladies probably became accustomed to corsets in those days.... (Not to say she wasn't small already, of course, just that a corset would enhance a tiny waist.) Her skirt is also quite beautiful with the layer of lace at the bottom. No idea about the instrument. I'm no expert on clothes and hair, but I think maybe your earlier date is closer than your later date for the photo. Thanks for sharing her with us!
I know I have said this before, but you just have the coolest photos!!!
