stepstomarrowWhen granddaughter, Jada, was born with leukemia, a donor-match was located and Jada made a miraculous recovery. In honor of her grandaughter's health, Jeanna has decided to walk across the country (in the dead of winter) to raise awareness and build support for the bone marrow registry (all that's required is a cheek swab). Follow Jeanna's remarkable journey as she travels the United States by foot.
I recently found these tintypes while at a flea market in Charlotte, NC. Judging from the cloths they are mid 1800's... I love how in the first image they are all touching their cheek, which had to have been a direction from the photographer. I posted two more and
more info on my blog.
Found in a bag of old family photos my dad gave me. I don't know who she is, but apparently she meant something to my dad at one point or another.
On the back it says "Jacquelin Boden (at least, I think it's Boden- the writing is very hard to read) April 20, 1974- To My Everloving David Honey"
This photo is one of my favorites.- Location:Alaska

Found in an antique market in Brighton (UK). Woman wearing cheongsam. Probably 1950s or 60s. The characters in the corner translate roughly as "morning light photography".
From an antique market in Brighton (UK).
I'm looking for large, high-quality scans of the cover images. Does anybody have them?

found in an antique shop in maryland.
the writing on the back says,
"J.C. Nichol (?? it's a bit hard to make out)
Blythedale
Alleghany County, PA"
Found in an antique market in Brighton (UK). I think probably a pair of grandparents with heir son and grandchild.
We have a lot of my great-great uncle will's stuff here, and I haven't seen it all because there is so much of it. I ran into this picture. We're not sure who the men are or what they are associated with. It looks medical?
My father in law gave my husband these photos over the weekend...they were found in with photos when cleaning out Grandpa's house after he passed away. They are from the early 1900s in Viersen, Germany where my husband's Grandma's parents were from. Her father, Aloysius, is in these photos...his face is circled in two of them. Please forgive the quality...I had to take a photo of each photo since we don't have a scanner. The photos themselves are actually great quality.

This made me laugh when I found it in the antique market in Brighton yesterday. I love his flamboyant neck-tie and the upbeat birthday message on the back.
I've been Googling his name and found out quite a lot about him. His firm issued metal tokens which could be exchanged for surgical trusses. Some of these have cropped up on ebay and in a 1955 edition of the British Medical Journal. I think he may have been connected with the still well-known Sheffield silverware firm Mappin & Webb. Even more pleasing, it seems some of descendants emigrated to the US and Canada, and he is described on a family history website compiled by one of them from a tape recorded oral history related by their grandfather. It includes this nice little family anecdote:
"In Manchester [John Reynolds] didn't find anything interesting so he walked south to Birmingham. There he called on a man named John Mappin who dealt in surgical instruments hoping that he could get a job. He was told that there was no work for him. As he stood interviewing on the front porch, the gentleman's daughter, age eighteen, was standing in the hall. She overheard the conversation and was able to get a look at the young man, my grandfather. John Mappin had thirteen children in all. His daughter in the hallway was rather frustrated at the time since she and her sister had arranged to have a double wedding with two young doctors. Her young doctor, however, had recently left this world due to an attack of small pox. She thought John Reynolds did not look too bad so as he was walking away, she climbed out of a window and ran after him. She caught up with him and they both walked back to Liverpool and had eighteen children."
Coincidentally, one of my own great-grandfathers was a silversmith at a firm on the same street.
