Sherri S commented on Swedish's photo
What do this photo tell ??
"The photographers bio and the year the Dakotas became a state tell us that the photo should be from 1879-1889.
I am leaning towards 1879-1885. Is the back of the photo matte or glossy? That is quite a cross, I don't know if ever saw one…"

Sherri S commented on Richie C.'s group Genealogy of Lithuania"Congratulations on the 100th member! I am sad to say that work has kept me from using the resources you have posted but hope to do so around Christmas when I am off. Thank you for your time and effort!"
Sherri S replied to Bridgid Kelly's discussion Sisters in Connecticut in the group Lost Faces: Ancestor Photos & Albums"The center girl closely resembles a photo of my grandmother shirt and cameo dated circa 1907.
I highly doubt any of the woman in the second shot are in the first. The shadows are harsh but they do not bear resemblances that I can see."

Has anyone lived in Lansford ~ Carbon, PA in the past or perhaps still. I located an aunt & uncles address on the 1930 census (East Patterson St.) and viewed it on Google Streets. I have a question on a business that used to be next…"
Sherri S commented on Kirsty F Wilkinson's group Scotland and Scottish Ancestry"Thank you Nicole. Perhaps only one cousin in the group. Much greater probability

Sherri S commented on Lorine McGinnis Schulze's group Lost Faces: Ancestor Photos & Albums"JB,
One thing I forgot to add was that a better view or description of the mans shirt collar can be helpful. The image you posted is washed out in that area; he almost looks like a pastor to me but I would think that is due to the scanning
and…"
Sherri S commented on Lorine McGinnis Schulze's group Lost Faces: Ancestor Photos & Albums"Hi JB,
Is this picture a scan of an original or a scan of a copy.One way to help identify the photos is by the size (if it appears untrimmed) and mounting (if Any) of the original. Are there any other characteristics to the photo that would help…"

- Good Morning John,
I see your temps are not that far away from ours here in the North West. I hope it warms up soon for you folks.
My interest in the Cooke surname is very recent because this year I started to focus on how & if relatives in Dunville, Canada were related to the Playle family. My parents generation were not able to recall. The connection was not as hard to make as I thought. Marr>Cooke >Playle from England. So I have just dipped my toe into researching Cookes. My Cooke connection is in Canada at the moment. Thank you for your note!
