My mom's side of the family is Swedish (and still lives in Sweden) and she instilled in me lots of Swedish heritage and traditions which has made me who I am today. My dad's side of the family is German and Irish and the most likely the side of the family I get all my freckles from. Family is so important, and welcome everyone to discover more about them, their history, and share about their loved ones who make up the history of who we are!

Highlights of just a few of the many successes of sharing memories within the AncientFaces Community.

Fashion in the Early 1900s
This video shows the fashions, hairstyles, contraptions (okay, buggies and cars), and activities of the early 1900's. The dresses are lovely - but how did people move and breathe in that restrictive clothing? It's amazing how hardy our ancestors were! It took a lot of effort (and time) to be stylish and then go out and play. (Be sure to turn up your speakers to hear the tunes of the day.)
