Recent
events as in moving from one place to another (are genealogists
really hoarders?) led to sifting through piles and miles of
photographs to scan. My mother as an only child had been the subject
of oodles of proud-parent photos, many of them studio-taken to send
to relatives in the old country. As time went on, friends and
others took over. Plus, sidewalk photos used to be a thing.
Said photos were scattered around various old albums and otherwise
loose amongst miscellaneous stacks of chaotic proportions.
It's
called playing around before I get serious again. What I've assembled
is easier with female ancestors, and obviously only if enough
photographs are available. It also helped that her mother was
a seamstress.
For
the kids and grandkids who never knew Grandma Clare.

Brenda, thanks for sharing the beautiful photos of your stylish mother. She looked like a teenager in 1963, I'd like to know her secret.
