SueAnn — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 19:54:35 +0000

Happy New’s Year everyone!

I have three new goals for 2013:

1) Post something genealogy related at least once a week in my blog

2) Completing Fat Mum Slim’s Photo A Day Challenge

3) Get Healthy (Yeah, I know, that’s one I say every year and fail, but I’m really going to try this year)

To get started on my 2nd goal, here is my first photo for the month of January:

Hope everyone has a great start to 2013!!!

If you haven’t figured out by now, I love old pictures! These are more from my “treasure” box.

My mom’s first of two younger sisters was born in 1952. My grandma says that mom loved being a big sister.

Happy Searching!

Travel Tuesday – Queen’ s Hotel Port Elgin Ontario

The Queen’s Hotel was owned in the 1940′s by Mr. and Mrs. McPhearson, who were great friends to my great-grandmother Edith Basham Lindsay. Every summer, they would drive from Detroit to Port Elgin to spend a month there.

(Not So) Wordless Wednesday – Family Portrait (Unknown)

SueAnn — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 01:48:08 +0000

Found this in the same antique store as the WWII postcards. The imprint on the side says Wolffe & Leonhardt, Wilmersdorf, Augusta str. 1.

No clue of who these people are or when this was taken. Anyone with any suggestions feel free to leave a comment, I would really love to get this back to some related to the individuals in this photo.

Happy Searching!
