Grandma didn't write on the back of this photo - so they don't know who he is! Can you help? In any case, he just makes us smile - what a cutie in the 1930's and what a head of curls!

SOOOOO CUTE!
The car in the background is likely a late 30's because of the two taillights.
What a doll baby! I envy him his hair. Mine is flat and growing grater by the day.
He looks like he might be lost and trying to find his house...hope he found it!
I can't even deal with the cuteness... those overalls are just to adorable 😍
I have a photo of my father in overalls at about a year and a half. Only baby photo of him. Too adorable.
Thankfully, one of my Grandmothers was very good about putting names on pictures. No dates but always names. She said it was because she had very old photos she inherited with no names so she wanted to make sure she didn't cause the same problem.
I have a few boxes of photos from my grandparents, a few name are on the back but very frustrating because I don't know who they are. Too late t ask.
In my grandmothers bible. There was a picture of a little baby girl in a casket. We don't know who she was. Neither did neighbors! Sure was a sad photo.
If you know anything (names, dates, places) etc. about family members, you can start a search from newest going back to oldest. Many people try to locate info from oldest to newest which is much harder. Census records, newspapers, hospital records, library archives will become your best friends
I inherited a box of my Great Aunts family photos. Luckily we showed them to dad’s elderly cousin and she knew most of them. I wrote down the names. So glad we did that. If anybody reading this has old photos and you have older relatives, go see them and ask questions. You’ll be so glad you did and they will enjoy looking back at the photos also.
I have many from both sides of my family and no one left that can answer any questions!
