I keep meaning to try to reseach the other two, but they run cold right here in New York in the 1920's. Maybe some day . . .<BR/><BR/>You are so lucky to have pictures and luckier still to be the official family historian!!!<BR/><BR/>TerrieTerrie Farley Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980849018232866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-77996759514562252112008-02-01T07:31:00.000-07:002008-02-01T07:31:00.000-07:00Hi, Hilary: I think you are right about that, and ...Hi, Hilary: I think you are right about that, and it sort of remained the fashion for awhile even after the invention of faster cameras.

The subjects had to hold still for an extended period, and holding a smile would be unnatural and uncomfortable.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-43623635019624297812008-02-01T06:12:00.000-07:002008-02-01T06:12:00.000-07:00I think the tendency in those days was to look ser...I think the tendency in those days was to look serious in photos. It was a big deal to have your picture taken. And perhaps they were formidable women - they certainly worked hard enough. My gr-grandmother was widowed at the age of 29 and never re-married.

There's some really good geneology software out there for tracking family trees too...I've never gotten that into it.<BR/>I found blogger hiccups when I send big files. Maybe if you resized them smaller it'd be happier? Or buy a miniature rubber chicken and put it on top of it. It's a lab superstition, but they sell tiny rubber chickens to place on equipment as good luck charms and they keep electronic gizmos fro glitching. It must works...there's a few in our department at least!Geosominhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729167937433295927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-63873412389540375412008-01-31T14:00:00.000-07:002008-01-31T14:00:00.000-07:00I agree with Leah, it must be official by now!I agree with Leah, it must be official by now!Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-85447027681752193192008-01-31T10:05:00.000-07:002008-01-31T10:05:00.000-07:00Thanks, Hilary.
