Randy Seaver of Genea-Musing has another great theme for this week:
Your mission, should
you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible! music) is to:
1) This week we're
going to look for female relatives with beautiful hair in our photograph
collections.
2) Find one or more
photographs of females in your ancestral families that have beautiful hair, by
your own subjective beauty standards.
3) Show the
photograph(s) if you have it/them and tell us a bit about the person
shown. If you don't have a digital
photograph, please describe the female and her beautiful hair the best you can.
4) Write your own blog
post, or a comment to this blog post, or a comment on Facebook or Google+.
In one photo of Muriel, I am fascinated with her hair and
the pose she was set up in. Muriel was the only child of my great-grandaunt,
Mary Martha Gleeson and her husband, Warren Edmond Gilbert.
Muriel Martha Gilbert was born 19 October 1895 in
California, probably in Los Angeles. She never married and lived with her
mother until her death in 1956..
The photos that I have of the Gleeson and Tierney families
came from a photo album that she created and carefully labelled. It was a very
good start for me in researching the Gleesons and Tierneys in Ontario, Canada.
She had very unique handwriting, as you can see here in an
address book that was full of family birth dates and anniversaries. Check out how she made her M and N.

Here curls are beautiful and her dress and necklace add to the charm. Muriel looks pleased to have her picture taken.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting handwriting! I wonder how she came to write her Ms and Ns that way.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture. She looks very relaxed for such a little girl.
