When you look a photo of your ancestor, if you are lucky enough to have one, what does it tell you? How is your ancestor dressed, what period of clothing, rags or riches. What was the occasion for the photo? Was it a marriage, coming of age, death? Black and White or a color photo? All these things can give you a peek into the life of your ancestor.
What do the following photos tell you?

WW1 taken when he was on leave in Birmingham, England.


Cathy Smith Miller, Christine Smith Montgomery and Carmen Borg.

All these photos are telling us something, we just need to look deeper into it.
What can our ancestors tell us? That chest, just above, has German newspapers glued in it.
Just saying…
