Today was a day that I had already planned to post at least one old family photo. This has been an ongoing project after my aunt passed lots of photos on to me this summer. I'm not sure what the next step will be, but it's been fun looking back.
This morning, I found a link to a great new online digital publication centered around genealogy and older photos. The blog, Shades of the Departed is now publishing Shades of the Departed-the Magazine. I really enjoyed this first issue and look forward to December's articles and photographs. The article about the 1930 US Census makes the entire issue worthwhile. Lots of interesting tips for adding more meat to the story of your family history. Some special issues are also planned for the coming months.
Here's one of the photos that was already planned for my post. This will probably be a regular feature in the future. I do have a genealogy blog, but have not kept it updated. Maybe Shades-the Magazine will keep me inspired.
That's my great-grandmother, Ella E. Rohrbough Cutright on the far right. Ella died in 1909 and her husband Ralph Cutright, later married his late wife's sister, Byrd. Byrd Rohrbough Cutright is third from the left in this photo.
I love the old photos! I have quite a few as well and love to find out the stories of my family. Thanks for the tip about the magazine, I'm going to go check it out. Good luck with the research. See ya in class...
