Little mini vacation this weekend that has been a fantastic break from all going on in life and the world. Very needed refresh.
Perfect little Valentines lunch for me and Karen - they gave us a table for two with the view - while the boys went snowboarding. Winter in wine country is lovely.

I have a whole line of Fanny's and Fannies's (daughters named after mothers) and not one of them has ever had "Francis" on any documents.
Fanny and Fannie are switched around, once or twice Franny shows up, but never Francis.

One difficulty in locating records is the many different places they could be. A family bible was considered a certified source, as many did not register births, or get birth cert. This was the official declaration for my G Grandfathers birth, when he needed proof of age later in life #genealogy

Does anyone have good resources/knowledge they can pass along for id'ing and dating old photos? Lucky enough to have an old album, belonged to my GG Grandparents, and only 3 photos are labeled.
I have carefully scanned and organized, trying to id them.
