Hello: We have an old picture, that is on the back of a postcard.I believe,that they used this method ,in the early 1900s.The Richards in our family were from, Shelby County,Texas. It is a picture of a girl,I would guess was about 15 or 16 yrs old. Across the post card side is written { This is Joes girl Eunice Richards } I don't know if this is Joes daughter or girlfriend. If anyone has an idea who she could be please let me know. Pat
This would be fun to research. At that time, I think "Joe's girl" would probably mean his daughter. That sounds like something an Aunt Eunice (Joe's sister) would say. If you have a postmark, check the Shelby County census nearest to the postmark (or the county from where it was postmarked) or check the 1900, 1910, and 1920 census for a Joe Richards family (looking for a Richards family with a Eunice at the same time.) Let us know if you figure it out.
