Now look what I found when comparing notes with my
5th cousin
Our common ancestor is my 4th and her 5th Great Grandparents
her Dad and his siblings
same chairs
same tea set
Same BEAR!
How funny the Mitchell family ended up in the same town and at the same photographer for a tea party.
What a sweet coincidence!
Just thought you would enjoy

You just gave me a great idea. We are having a family reunion this weekend. I should photograph the little girls at tea. Such sweet photos and a very creative photographer for those days.

Ann, Those are charming pictures. I love their dresses. You have the best records of your family history. I love it. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful archive you have! Do you think portraits used to be more of an art form? Wonderful pictures.

ReplyDeleteOh yes I enjoyed the tea party pictures and it amazes me how much family history you come up with and have
Old family photos are so fun and interesting to look at. You are very lucky to be able to read their diary. Interesting window into everyday life back then.
