Cheap Brochure Printing - This is so interesting! :) I tried using the site you provided and it was very cool. I am excited to discover who's my great great great great grandfather is.
Brooke Summer Photography - Wow isn't that amazing! I haven't been to those websites intentionally because I don't need something else to drain my time right now. They're fascinating! :)
Susan - This is fascinating! I, too have recently been searching for & scanning old family photos in preparation for making a heritage album. I just love when you find a story to go along with the photo! I'm kind of afraid to get on ancestry.com - I could see myself spending HOURS on that.
Stephanie Ortega - I really love Ancestry.com... My husband is really into Genealogy. VERY cool that you found this photo! Love it!
brenda eden - Melissa, that is absolutely the most interesting thing that this photo was taken so near to the year when photography was first getting started. (Tangent: when I was taking photo history classes at ASU our professor told us that photography emerged in a few different places over the globe all around the same time, but nobody figured out how to fix the images...so there is no photographic record - ever since hearing that I have been so fascinated with the idea of emergence.) I too got sucked into ancestry.com about a month ago. My free trial ran out, but when I was looking at it I think I literally spent 12 hours at my computer one day. There were so many mysteries! And so many things I found out. One thing that was fascinating to learn was that a lot of the churches my ancestors were either christened at/married at/buried at still exist and now I am following some of those churches on facebook. It's so entertaining to see posts like "Yoga this Monday night at Gloria Dei" - the church my 10xs greatgrandparents started in Philadelphia. Okay, I think this comment is getting so long, so I will stop except to say one more thing, and you might have already figured this out, but if you find names on ancestry.com that you want to find out more about, make sure to google them, as there is a lot out there besides ancestry.com and you might find some really fascinating stuff. I found an interview that my great-great-great grandfather gave in which he talks about his Cherokee grandmother. So fascinating!
Meghan - OH MY GOSH that's amazing!! What an awesome find! I can't believe I'm the only one who brought up ancestry.com, but I am officially obsessed with it. So glad I could help! You have no idea! I'm a huge fan of yours :)
Amanda Jackson - This is really cool! What an awesome thing to find! Thanks for sharing a piece of history with us! :)
Kate - That is amazing. I am going to have to check out some of the old family photos we have as well. I know there are some from the late 1800's.
