THIS IS MURIEL

Hubby came across her  recently in one of his genealogical searches online.  The photo was taken in 1918 and she is a distant cousin of mine.  The information on the photo says that she is 3 years and 11 months old.  We can't find any more details but I hope she had a happy life.

    Maybe if you do a dna test it may help

    Lovely photograph. I don't go back quite that far but I do remember having a photo take on one of those seats. Goodness only knows where it is now ... the photo, not the seat.

      Thanks Valerie, I hope you find that photo? I bet you were a pretty child. I remember photos my mother showed me when I was a child of her family. Wish I knew where those were too.

      I agree, they can. We have obtained some really great photos which I will share another time. Yes, Muriel gave me a smile Martha Ellen. She is a darling little girl. I really do love these old photos.

    I enjoyed this vintage photo, Denise. I have also had some recent fun re-discovering some of both mine and Pat's family photos and I may also post more in the future. People really seem to enjoy seeing these treasures.
