This is such a wonderful photo! It's hard to read, but I believe that Edith was a stewardess for Braniff Airways? Braniff International Airways operated from 1930 - 1982 primarily in the midwestern and southwestern United States, Mexico, Central America & South America and later on to Asia & Europe. I believe British Airways was founded in 1974. Thanks for sharing!

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
