Hi Christina,
I think that is really fantastic that you obtain the portraits of your ancestors.
I think that is every genealogist's dream :)
It adds another dimension, beyond the data.
Myself, I only have the portraits of 1 great-grandmother, Kate Morris ( the portrait of her husband, I still have to get from my cousin). And another that could be my great-great- grandmother, Jennie McEntee .
See you again soon.
Hi Barbara,
This blog has helped a lot with obtaining photos of ancestors. It's gotten me in contact with a lot of cousins who are also doing genealogy. First I posted the photos we inherited from my grandparents, and when relatives see them, they often want to scan in and send me the photos that they have!
Cheers!
