Today is International Women's Day, often marked by remembering powerful women such as Harriet Tubman, Victoria Woodhull, or Elizabeth Blackwell MD - all of whom accomplished a lot.
But what about the everyday heroes? Women who were wives, mothers, and working at the same time. Everyone deserves to be remembered: we honor and remember one of these women, Estelle Kemler (1923-2006). Her first husband died, leaving her with 3 young children. She married again and divorced - becoming a soap opera actress and a real estate agent.

I don't know this for a fact, but has not the huge advance in inexpensive photographic technology, especially via computer and the Internet, driven a lot of professional photographers out of business? When I was growing up, there seemed to be a lot more of them!

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director

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.

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.
