We had a fun afternoon visiting this old Texas farm house where cousin Amelia Forrest's grandparents and parents have lived for the past 100 years out in the countryside. She recalled fun times of riding the school bus into town for classes and growing up in the countryside. Amelia is quite the genealogist and has collected many family photos including this fun one of her as a little girl and my hubby as a baby in 1945 in a dress. All baby boys wore dresses in those days. The first photo was taken almost 65 years ago.
Here they are now. One of the great benefits of doing your genealogy is the connections you make with living relatives. You even meet long lost relatives in pursuing this interesting hobby.
