Welcome to my Genealogy Blog.

Why not spend a minute or two at my Blog to see if there is anything interesting to read. Perhaps I've written something about your ancestor, gave a hint on how to locate something, provided a different way to do research, or just gave a glimpse into the world of genealogy research through words or photos. I try to make it light and enjoyable.

My roots are from New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire), New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wyoming, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for articles. The header tabs at the top are a work in progress.

I also have a blog called Seeing New England. Why not visit it, to get a feeling for the area.

This is so cute. I've been watching Ken Burn's "Prohibition" all week, and this photo fits right in!

If this was taken in 1920, Edna would be 19. Wish I knew the date. The sad thing is, her tombstone is shown in the previous post.

How cool to have the evidence that I bet a lot of our grandmothers didn't leave behind.

I always wonder if my ancestors followed trends - as in fashion, dance, etc.

You got some proof.

Love it! I was watching an old movie this week...a Prohibition-era gangster flick. The girls in that film were dressed just like she is!

I do love this picture - such a smile!

Love the photo..My grandmother was a Flapper Girl in Harlem, but unsure if there are photo's.

Will have to look at the photo's as you have got me curious.

I have never been aware of the attire, so I will need some help in identifying.

Thank you everybody for your comments. This is one of my more special photos, and I just received it two weeks ago. It proves, you never know when something will show up. Keep hoping, since, I think, your ancestors were around during that time.
