FRIDAY FACES FROM THE PAST - My Grandmother, Marie Lindsay Gould's Photo Album

THE COVER OF MY GRANDMOTHER'S PHOTO ALBUM

My paternal grandmother, Marie Lindsay Gould kept a photo album which was passed down to me from my Dad.  Here are some pages from this, over 100 year old album.

(Please click on any image to enlarge it)

My Dad at four months - 1913

In the above photo are the following people: Top row left are my paternal grandparents, Harry & Marie Gould; top right is my great grandmother, Mae Thorp Gould.  Bottom left is my grandmother, Marie Gould, my great grandmother, Mae Gould and one of my great grandaunts. Bottom right is my grandmother, Marie and two unidentified children.

On some of the pages of the album you can see my grandmother's hand writing.  These pages are very precious and this photo album has been completely digitized (with a camera) and is now stored safely.

 In the photo above - upper left is my grandmother on the right.  I'm not sure of the other woman and man.  It could be one of my grandmother, Marie Lindsay Gould's sisters.  Upper right is my grandmother Marie and that same unknown man.  Lower right is my great grandmother, Mae and then a photo of the Treasury Bldg. in Washington, D.C.

There are several more pages in this album and I'll post more of them at another time.  

If you have old albums like this, I'd love for you to share them with me.  Either leave me a message or share them on your own blog and let me know the link.

Happy hunting,

Michigan Girl

FRIDAY FACES FROM THE PAST - Orphaned Photos - Christy, Straub, McRoberts

Whenever my friends and I are browsing an antique store or flea market I look for old photos.  Seeing boxes of photos sitting unclaimed breaks my heart.  I always try to save a couple of them.  I only purchase the ones that have names on them, as I feel those have the better chance of finding their descendants.

WHERE THESE PHOTOS WERE PURCHASED:
Grand Avenue Antiques
140 N. Glassell
Orange, CA. 92866

I post these old photos on Dead Fred’s You can find the photos on that site by using the surname search. This site has been around for many years and is, I believe, an underused resource.

Stay tuned for more orphaned photos featured on this blog.
 
I would like to see these photos reunited with family.  However, I have no connection to the people or the pictures, other than that they are in my possession.  If you happen to take the time and find someone connected to these photos, please have them contact me.  I will happily mail them the originals.

NOTE:  The first 8 comments attached to this post actually belong on another post.  How they got attached to this one, I don't know.
