Wordless Wednesday Esther Talbott and Friend

This is a photo of my great-grandmother Esther Lee [Richardson] Talbott (on the right). I am not sure who the woman on the left is. Based on other photos of she appears in, her first name may be Nannie. These women are both from the Halifax, Va area. As usual, I just could not be "wordless".

This Made Me Smile

I found this quote in the sidebar over at Ancestors Connect. It made me smile!

Genealogy is like potato salad - When you share it with others, it's a picnic.

As my family will tell you, I do love to share my genealogy!

Age 2 1/2 years

This is the tombstone of my GGGG-Grandmother Harriett Judd Thomas, mother of Mary Adaline Thomas. Her grave is at Baptist Chapel Cemetery near Broadway, NC. This was originally the Thomas family homeplace and her tombstone was placed in the family cemetery. (The church was not at this location until about 1913.) I am unsure of who the child is that is listed on the bottom of her tombstone. Based on the age of the child, it could not have been Harriet's as she would have been in her 80's at the time the child died. Another mystery to solve....
