I mentioned it my own recent blog post where I showed a few shots from her Southeastern NM farm house. She asked me to pass it along.

Many of the old photos have no personal identification on them, but if they do have a good name on them, I trace the living descendants and reunite the photo with the family in which it is related.

So, babies had to be held upright by an adult hiding under a blanket or shawl. I collect the ones where the adult unintentionally (or maybe intentionally) held the child so s/he seemed to float above the chair or other surface the baby was meant to seem to be resting on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28631804.post-58463755454782259172009-08-15T07:54:27.626-06:002009-08-15T07:54:27.626-06:00I have a wall dedicated to my ancestors, an arrang...I have a wall dedicated to my ancestors, an arrangement of framed sepia photos. My grandpa was a photographer, and I obtained a box of old photos we had never seen before when my father passed away recently. Many of them were taken by my grandpa long ago, so we have no idea who these people are! Now I will take another look and see if I can get another theme going.
