Help! A picture of who?
 | | Cory Bretz |
While I have your attention, perhaps you could help me.
Like many people, I have inherited a box of photos from my grandparents. I remember every time I saw Grandma Rose she used to boast about that box. She said it contained photos of our relatives "going back to Moses!" Several times when I was a kid, she told me some of the names of the people in the dozens of albums ... but I forgot.
We'll sure enough, after she passed away, that box came to me and I do cherish those photos. The problem is, for most of the prints, there's almost no writing on the back of any of them.
In one of the albums was a series of black and white photos that appear to be from the 1920s or 30s. One of the women might be my Grandma Rose...but maybe not.

Can you tell me who these people are?
The morals of the story are 1) Always write on the back of paper prints the names, dates, and places related to the picture. 2) Don't believe that your descendants (usually your distracted kids) are going to remember anything unless you document it clearly!
