He had to put them somewhere then, and it was wherever there was room- a bit in the basement, some in the attic, these things in the garage, and oh, this looks nice so I'll hang it in the living room- it is understandable how what may have been connected was scattered. An innocent looking dresser might be more akin to an archeological dig when you opened the drawers, with layer upon layer of finds tucked in there over the years.

And often, even newspapers will refer to a couple by the man's name only, i.e. Mr. And Mrs. William Nesbitt, so it's very hard to keep track of them. It's also easy to confuse someone who was born Mary Henderson with someone who married and became Mary Henderson, so ideally you would want multiple confirmations of the last names. Sometimes you can get this from the Census, particularly if one of the wife's parents is living with the couple.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-75325266949241691102012-10-26T14:41:06.360-07:002012-10-26T14:41:06.360-07:00Very interesting.

The old adage that they tell a thousand stories is so true. I love investigating what I can in old photographs. Of course, the writing on the back also helps, too!

I have a (single) photo from the US of Muhligs (I think the u may have had an umlaut), maybe they'll turn out to be related to yours :)Lisa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562101358640638937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-90277588874657331052012-10-26T00:35:49.653-07:002012-10-26T00:35:49.653-07:00Great detective work - it's so satisfying to m...Great detective work - it's so satisfying to make connections.Wibbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02276903940866394424noreply@blogger.com
