The Grand Canal - Venice

Photo of the Grand Canal in Venice, Rome. This is one of the more intriguing cities I have ever had the pleasure to visit. It's almost out of a fantasy book the way that the entire town is built over water.

This particular photos shows the Ca'd Oro and Palazzo Sagredo Palace circa 1938.

Photo taken by James Anderson (1813-1877) or his son, Domenico Anderson (1854-1938).

Date & Place: Jan

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.
