As promised and as predicted by Ron.. here's my post on photos.

This is something that I tend to still accumulate, and have recently acquired many more photos. What's great about the digital age, is that they don't have to give you the photos just yet. You can scan them.. and I strongly suggest scanning photos anyway. If there is a fire or something and you have scanned your photos and had the digitized version kept in a fire safe place.. you've preserved a photo record of your family history.

Here I'm going to show off some of my pictures from Glasgow, Scotland UK. They are circa 1890's -1908.


This is one of the photos I acquired that had the persons named on the back.
1st person GG Grandmother Henrietta Hunt Williamson (maiden name Hunt)
2nd person G Grandmother Nellie (nick name for Helen) McLuskie (not yet married to my G Grandfather)
3rd person GG Grandfather John Williamson (b.1826-1894)
His death date means the photo is from 1894 the latest.


Not named, but most likely Nellie..


Another one of Nellie.. when my grandfather lent me this photo.. He said "that's my mom!"


My Great Grandfather Jervis Coats Williamson


That's one of my grandfather's older sisters "Etta" (short for Henrietta) when she was little.. probably 1908... a story as to which I will explain in another post. Again my GG Grandma Henrietta Hunt Williamson.
