Images Make My Day!

There is nothing like a photograph to make me a happy camper!  

Unless....it's a photograph or image of a document that I can't identify!  

So here are a few document images and also, a few photos... that are relative (no pun intended).  Some of them are identifiable, (I know or think I know who or what it is), and some of them I need your help identifying.



 These two images (above) show census information.  

Here is a photo from the recent (2019) Givens Reunion held in Florala, Alabama.  (I've identified two of these folks and hope you will identify the others in the photo).
Foye Givens Gramley with her husband, Robert Gramley.

Marriage Liscense James C_Givens and Wood



Now, I will be happy to "showcase" your documents and images on this website, but be sure you identify (if you know) who or what the image is about.  I have many other images (that need to be organized).  In my next post, I will try to post some other things.  Where, you may wonder, can you find/locate images on the internet?  There are various websites that I utilize: findmypast.com; myheritage.com; ancestry.com; familysearch.org.


Where, you may wonder, can you safely "store"/archive your photos?  I would recommend that you utilize the "Memories" secton at www.familysearch.org.  

FamilySearch is a website sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka "Mormon" church).  This site is used by members of the church as well as non-members.  The site is available to all genealogists and family historians (you need to register for a free account).  

FamilySearch is dedicated to preserving your family histories and your memories.  My favorite thing is to "Search" and see if someone has already entered my relatives! Because the "Mormons" are crazy for genealogy, they have dedicated a lot of time and money for that work!
