American Graves Prum, Germany 1919 |
Family histories are in photographs; genealogy is in dates. The
genealogy is the bones and skeleton on which to hang the family history of
photographs, diaries, and oral traditions.
About 40 plus photographs are looking for their skeleton,
their family. Would a genealogical society, historical society, library, museum
or family provide the exposure and love that these deserve?
The photos dated 1918-1919 are from Frank Taylor to his
sister Delcie Taylor, Vienna, Illinois.
Also, I have photos taken of the building of a bridge
between Illinois and Kentucky over the Ohio River probably a few years earlier
looking for permanent exposure and love. A few of the river photos may be
viewed at the article on “Genealogy: How to identify photographs” at
Examiner.com.
If interested contact me, Selma Blackmon, sbgenealogy@gmail.com or see me and the
photos at Federation of Genealogical Society Conference in Fort Wayne, IN next week.
