Very nice picture, what a great present

 

[sissy]

well ice present as most older pics are really not clear and get worse with age .I know I have a few of my mom and dad that I had to have fixed and usually you can tell they have been worked on but who ever did that did a great job .I just had my dads mom and dads pics redone as they were from Germany and I only have 3 or 4 really decent pics of them .

I have some real nice old ones of grand parents, parents etc. Most I have no clue whom they are, found the album after my dad passed. Both my parents in uniform, they met in the service.

Even have some of my dad as a child, like 4 or so.

Wish the parents would have written who's who on all their pic's cuz is interesting to know who they are. Pix are still neat tho.

yeh would help to know names of some of the people .I joined that ancestry sight and for my family it was useless as it seems like both my parents families where basically off the grid .I guess them being amish does not help either .My grandmother on my fathers side and his family is even harder as they came over from Germany and it seems she just changed her German last name to sound American and seems to spell it all different ways .I found 10 spellings for it and she had 18 children and my mother had 14 siblings .They were like bunnies LOL

Adopted here and found my birth mother and half sister many yrs ago, not on any web-site but tried ancestrey to find others after that but dead ended. My half sis found her birth dad and then found many, many siblings in Hawaii that she needs to meet w/ some day.

 

[sissy]

The only thing I found was 2 birth certificates for me one on july 7th my birthday and 1 for july 6th but no other info on this other certificate and my mothers name was wrong and found out after she passed that she was married before .No clue at all about the other info just a dead end .Seems the hospital in PA had burned down and a lot of records were lost from the doctor who signed them .I guess they were not very good at there jobs back then .It was like going down a dark tunnel
