    1. [LADESOTO-L] Insert for Old Photo
    2. Hello: I hope this is not out of line with this sort of question to the genealogy lists that I belong to, but it is genealogy related. I am sending this to several lists because I am doing up a very special genealogy photo montage. It is composed of my husband's Grandmother, Nannie Hubble, who was born in 1880 and her GGGranddaughter (our granddaughter, Rebeka, born in 1986). Everyone in the family has remarked how Rebeka - almost 100 years later - is the spitting image of her GGGrandmother Nannie. Soooo, I took Rebeka up and found a Gibson Girl outfit like they wore at the end of the last century, dressed Rebeka exactly like her GGGrandmother Nannie, We bought rings and a necklace as close as possible as those in the picture. Nannie's picture had a ring on her necklace, so we put one of Rebeka's GGrandmother's rings on her necklace that almost perfectly matched Nannie's. Then took Rebeka to the hair stylist and had her hair done in the same style, and we went to a photo vintage shop and had her pose just as Nannie did by a wicker chair so the poses would be identical. It is a work of art! They are almost 100 years apart in age, but it looks like they are twins. Everyone who sees the pictures says it is just too eerie. One of the pictures is of Rebeka holding and looking at the picture of her GGGrandmother Nannie. Now, my dilemma is that I want to have the proper font for the insert under each picture with names and dates that would be fitting for such a family heirloom before I have it framed at the frame shop. Can anyone out there suggest what font would look good under pictures like that? Thanks for listening & reading this far. This is just so important to me, and I want it to be perfect, since Rebeka is so interested in the finished product. Believe me, it got her interested in my favorite hobby, genealogy. She may be only 14, but this has brought her into asking all sorts of questions about all of the 12 family lines that I am researching, and not just the Hubbells. Jackie
