Not very long ago, a cousin, Lesley told me about Grandma Lizzie. My only knowledge of Elizabeth F. McKim was about when she was born, whom she married, who her children were and so on. Lesley told me about her gathering the family in the living room and leading the family in the singing of hymns. Now when I read the name of Elizabeth F. McKim I get a mental image of her and a small peek at her personality. So please tell your stories and give life to the names in the database.
Photos tell much about a family.
On the photo page you will see a picture of my great grandparents. The picture was probably taken in the 1930 s. They were not wealthy, in fact they were quite poor. On closer examination Mary Holloway Smith leans toward Dove Smith and seems quite happy. This photo was loaned to me by a cousin that I had met through the Internet and was the first picture I had seen of my great grandmother.
