\"Porch\"<\/p>\n

I’m always posting old family photos with the line “I have no idea who these people are”. People – write down names on the backs of your photos!<\/em> \u00a0Fortunately, I’ve had amazing luck posting my photos to various Facebook groups, I’ve been able to identify people in my photos and discover a little bit more about my family tree.<\/p>\n

I love this photo because it’s an oldie and not taken in a studio. If you look closely, there is an arrow pointing to the woman on the left. The back of the photo reads “My mother, Rhea Garceau”. So, although I have no idea who the woman on the right is – the woman on the left is definitely my grandmother! Original photo behind the cut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
