As I mentioned in my previous post, we went to Buffalo NY to visit friends and family. While visiting our 98 year old cousin Loraine, she showed us photos of my great grand parents, My great great grand mother, and other family members. I was fascinated as I had never seen them before.
The young girl at the bottom step is cousin Loraine. The three ladies at the top were sisters. Left to right; My mother's mom Helen, Loraine's mom Blanch, and Aunt bell. The older couple is grandma Harriet & Grandpa Edward Fournier (my greats). The remaining elderly lady is my great great grandmother, known only as Grandma Foot.
More pics of my greats.
This is Loraine in her mom Blanch's arms. I vaguely remember her.
A pic of Blanch with her husband Art. I couldn't picture him, but I do remember an uncle Art in my childhood.
I don't remember Aunt Bell at all,but I did hear stories about her from family. She worked in boudeville and this pic is one of the dresses she wore. I must admit she was quite attractive.
I'm hoping to find other pics of distant relatives. It seems to be a new interest for me, especially hearing the stories that go with them. I don't know how successful I'll be considering nearly all the greats and grands have passed on, but I'll try.

Ancestry is amazing to me. The only unfortunate part about learning your ancestry is that you end up with more questions. :)

I never actually tried to research my ancestry. My father tried some fifteen to twenty years ago and wasn't very successful. Of course the technology wasn't nearly as advanced as today. I'm not sure I want to get that involved in it. It was just fun to see the old pics and hear the stories attached to them.
