I had a serious case of the genealogy guilts today and posted the few family photos I have of my husband's ancestors to Flickr and edited them as best I could. One is quite nice as it is a 4 generation "grandmother" photo. I am going to re-borrow it from my in-laws and rescan it when Santa gives me a new scanner. I can't identify the oldest woman which seems like a good "Madness Monday" post.
My husband's two adult nieces are both on Face Book now so I posted these photo to my photos there and tagged them so they will see them. In two photos, their father is the child as he is 5 years older than my husband.
I worked on trying to identify more census and vital records for these ancestors. I finally found the WILDE family if I took off the final E. It seems that it was added when they became Americans.
I worked on cemetery citations for my friend, got a headache, and went downstairs and watched "Ghost Hunters". The rest of the day I read email, tweets and blog posts. It gets dark so early, I feel I have to type faster to get more done.
Tomorrow is my 38th wedding anniversary so for fun I scanned my portrait and put it up at Face Book. I can't believe how much the background of this professional photo has faded. It used to be a lovely sky blue which went well with my coloring. It was displayed, without my permission, in the photographer's studio window in a huge format (bigger than 11 x17). I was horrified and wouldn't buy it. The photographer was angry and sent his worst photographer to photograph my wedding. I only bought 25 photos and I am still not sorry. I received a coupon for a free portrait of my first child. I sure hope they aren't waiting.....
