I am working on this
year-long prompt, hosted by Amy Johnson Crow. I will write each week in one of my two blogs, either Mam-ma’s
Southern Family or at My Trails Into
the Past. I’m looking forward to
writing about my children’s ancestors in new and exciting ways.
My
husband’s mother, Thelma, grew up on a farm in Hilmar, Merced County, California. Here is a photo of her with her three older brothers (Arnold, Leonard, and Reuben) and one younger brother (Raymond).

I just love this photo. It was taken about 1927-28. The boys are wearing typical clothes of children of farmers.

Here is a typical class photo. Thelma is in 2nd row, 4th from left and her cousin, Ken Lundquist, was also in the photo, but I don't know which one is him.
