This weeks' blog prompt is
Earliest. At first I was stumped - should I write about the earliest document I have, the earliest ancestor I have documented, or earliest memory I have of one of my ancestors? Wait - how about the earliest photo I have of my ancestors? So here we go.....

I'm missing a few and hope to one day find them but I feel like I have a pretty good collection!
You definitely win! I can barely get past a great-grandparent with photos. That picture of Bertha is the best! So adorable.
ReplyDeleteI know, isn't it? I have the original and it is wrapped with red yarn so it looks sort of like a Christmas ornament.
DeleteWhat a great idea! I love all these!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize how many I had until I put this post together.
