Short amazing story for you. My mother passed in 2006, and my daughter said, "Mom, you really should put together a family tree for me & the kids so we don't forget our heritage, and before no one is around to ask any questions". So, I started one on paper & that just got confusing so I went to Ancestry.com. To shorten this story some I got an e-mail through Ancestry.com from a cousin I never met. One thing lead to another and she filled in some questions I had & added stuff she knew and we swapped pictures, and stories I've never heard or seen and vice-versa. It's been fun. These two fine ladies are my Great Aunts on my father's side. They were my Great-Grandmother's sisters.

My question is: What country do you hail from?
Originally on my dad's side is Denmark & Dusseldorf, Germany and London (my grandpa), and my mom's side was Palermo, Sicily.

I love their picture. they both look lovely.
How exciting that you got a response from a cousin. I have always wanted to do a family tree, but don't have nearly enough info.
I LOVE those photos, the ladies look so lovely, you come from beautiful stock. =)
My family comes from Ireland (5 generations ago) and Germany on my dad's side and from Sweeden and Germany (4 generations ago) on my mom's side. I even have some Mohawk indian in me on my mom's side.
Check out what I have for you on my blog: http://wmljshewbridge.blogspot.com/2011/07/blog-post.html
The family resemblance does carry through the lines.
Were you born in the US or in Sicily?
I'm from the Caribbean - Jamaica.
It's almost UNCANNY how you look like your Great Aunt Carrie! It's a striking resemblance :)
Those are really great pictures, and what an AMAZING story! I love stories like that ^.^
I'm a pretty hefty chunk Polish. My dad and his family are pure Polish and my mom has a little bit in her, too. There's also some Irish, German, and a few other things mixed in there.
Ireland on my moms side
I hail from the good old USA. We've had about 17 generations here since the start of our country if not more. Before that Scotland and Germany and a bit of Welsh.
Those photos are fabulous. I love seeing the way the women used to dress.
Hi there! I'm so sorry I'm so late at responding!!
You have such awesome photos! A real treasure!!!!!! I wish I had some of my relatives dating back then!!!!!!
