I received many pictures from a cousin that are from 1900 and perhaps a little earlier. One of them is a group of eight women, perhaps a graduating class or something. I recognize two of them and can name one of them. Would this be something I can scan in for the GenWeb to see if anyone can tell me where and why about the picture? I'm guessing it will help identify several people in the other pictures I have. carol peterson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Marshall" <raymarsh@mninter.net> To: <MNSTLOUI-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2001 10:19 AM Subject: RE: [MNSTLOUI] Naturalization of a woman > Prior to women getting the right to vote in 1920? a woman automatically > became a citizen when she married a citizen.
