Hi NOVA, I thought I'd share a story that Kathleen Wieland sent to me, in case she does not post it herself. You all know I love old photos, and this is a real succss story.

Colleen, Thanks for posting the story about the photograph. Only wish that would happen to me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. After my dad passed away in 1992 a cousin of mine sent me a copy of a picture he had with my Dad sitting on my Grandma's lap and my Uncle on a tricycle and my 3 Aunts standing on the porch on which the picture was taken. It was taken about 1916 as my Dad was born December 25, 1915. The picture was taken in Napoleonville, LA. This is the only picture I have of my Dad as a child. I like old photos too. I have all my Mom's old photo collection. One of my favorites is the one of me and a friend taken out front of McDonogh No. 28, when we graduated from Miss Nina Pollatsek's Kindergarten class of June 1945, Elise H. Meyer, was Principal. I can still picture her riding her bike on sunny days and driving her old Ford 2 seater with a rumble seat on rainy days. Good memories!!!

To List, With the recent discussion about family photographs, I thought I would share how I have posted the photos of one branch of my family. I arranged them by topics and then created a thumbnail for each one. Then for each photo there is a separate page with a larger image and descriptive text. The photographs, most of which were taken in New Orleans, are here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wegener/wegener_history/photos/ The photo website is linked from a general family history page that I am still working on: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wegener/wegener_history/ My maternal grandfather, with two wives, had a large family. Here's a reunion photo from 1990: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wegener/wegener_history/photos/images/wpho0163/wpho0163.html Norm ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
